Today we learnt about cinematography. To be perfectly honest
I was bowled over by a lot of the technical aspects, at one point we appeared
to be looking at lists of numbers and letters. Luckily the cinematographer and
the editor seemed to understand what was told to us perfectly so I can ask them
as questions arise and hopefully everything will fall into place.
The cinematographer got a good play with the camera, looking
at us and zooming in and out of us. I think he may be dead set on using a dolly
now which will have to be arranged.
We also looked at sound which was fun. I think that we will
need to take background sound. Luckily at this time there appears to be little
dialogue in our script so I doubt that will be our biggest problem. We also
need to consider music, which I didn’t consider. We will be actively browsing
the free music archive from now on I imagine.
I was excited to look at the script. In a scared sort of
way. I was right to be. It’s changed dramatically, but I can deal with it. It
is now about a gay characters first date. The script originally contained a
hell of a lot of locations and people, so I attacked it with my pen and
brutally slashed through them. Hopefully we can work and make this work with
minimal people. I would like it to be simple.
I listed what everyone needs to do. So far it all looks
fine, I am sorting location, schedule and dietary requirements (looks like I am
the only one who eats anything in my group).The scriptwriter has the script
(obviously, sorry) and to look out actors, the director is doing the storyboard
and the shot list. Sound is the cinematographer’s job this time. The editor is
sort of dipping in and out, with a lot of input in the shot list.
It feels slightly stressful, but I think we can sort it all.
