This week’s consultation was just to get some advice on how we would go about our pre-production planning stage. We talked to Paul to see if we were on the right track. The ideas we raised for our pre-production plan were:
1. Which scripts will we be using for the shoot?
2. How many extended scenes / opening trailers?
3. Storyboarding session
4. Shooting days? (Tentative Monday Week 9)
Over the consultation session, we had agreed that we would attempt to create the title sequence in various genres after shooting the extended scenes. We were throwing ideas as well like doing a “Shakespearean” genre as Brian Morris had suggested in the pitch presentation day. We also thought of shooting a locked script in various genres instead of writing in specific genres.
We agreed to the deadline suggestion of choosing a scene in a script (preferably two) before Thursday’s shoot so we can do a mock shoot to experiment on it before the real shoot on Monday. It is a stepping stone to our process of re-writing and re-shooting research.
Suggestions like redoing shoots really caught my attention. I always felt like when I film and re-watch my old films I would always think that I could have done better at certain parts. I am quite keen on creating more sketches and learn from it.
