Film Light – Week 8 Pitch Reflection

Unfortunately Adelle was sick, so Kerry, Andrew and I had to present with that in the back of our minds. I think the pitch itself was kind of an exercise in all 3 of us figuring out what we were trying to do. Fundamentally it was about each creating something, but talking aloud and pitching naturally provided a different perspective over our purpose.

What that is exactly, I am still not entirely sure. It’s really about narrowing down to something cohesive between us. I think the same location idea is good, and since the pitch we have agreed that a window must be involved. In theory these are limitations, but I think some kind of parameter is valuable.

Robin liked how we said we will each be behind the camera for our individual works. Deep down, total control is something that I think we each desire. Mistakes may and possibly will be made, and we will be responsible for them. It’s kind of liberating, and the way in which aspects are refined will be crucial.

The other project I found totally fascinating was the group who are adapting a scene from Camus’ The Stranger. I recently discovered that Visconti did an adaptation with Mastroianni as Meursault and Anna Karina as Marie – I need to get around to watching it. It will be interesting to see what direction the group take and it raises some questions; how faithful will they be to the text, how will they light it, where will they shoot it, how long will each shot go for? I am looking forward to the end product.
