Current status: roughly 30% of script filmed –
potential problems with overall length not reaching 3 mins. Remember it’s a
film opening so you can legitimately add things like titles to extend the overall
length. The brief states approximately 3 minutes so 2.45 will be fine.
·
Most obvious way to add to the overall length is
to offer a clearer picture of where the rest of the full 30 minute film is
going… some kind of reverse/flashback/editing trick and perhaps begin the
narrative at the true beginning having already established the ending.
·
Filmed grass scenes (present day close-ups)
including wound/fake blood. They look brilliant – the close-up is perfect,
great framing and focus. Blood looks realistic and effective.
·
Perhaps consider re-shooting the park shots
(flashback) – very grainy, perhaps just not enough light. However, with the
right editing and music it could potentially work.
·
Voiceover is going to be crucial – get that
recorded in the next week or so. Use our Zoom audio recorder – industry
standard. Just find a quiet room in school (no computers or air-con) to record
lots of takes of the voiceover. So important to get this right!
·
Concert footage shot on phone as planned.
·
Train station, car park, Ealing, Camden still to
shoot. Remember the key discussions we had regarding costume etc. You could
shoot all in one day but probably preferable to spread them over two days.
Arrange a date ASAP with your main actor – ideally this coming weekend but the following
can work at a push as long as you start editing what you’ve got.
·
As discussed earlier, you probably need an extra
scene in the script to begin the rest of the film… think about how that can
work and have a script draft for Friday and we can confirm it then.
·
Print work is going well and can continue in
lesson time.
·
Need to establish when and where editing will
take place. My advice is to edit in school on Premiere Pro for multiple reasons
– backup and support being the main ones.
·
Please note we will start evaluations in three
weeks.
Three things I will do in the following week:
1) Film two locations from script
2) Do voice over for three scenes.
3) Re-shoot park flashback
