week 10, Sunday

Yesterday we met with girls (Anna, Adel, Oksana and me) to discuss our video.

First, Oksana (as a director) explained what she wants to show with this movie, and how she sees it. Then we looked through the synopsis we wrote earlier. Then me (as a producer)), i made a list of things we should not forget about: all the necessary props and also effects.

Then we started our script, including dialogues. We had some brainstorming and then selected the best of them.
Also we decided on the days and places we are going to shoot at.

But seems like only me and Oksana are so entusiastic about this film. ((
I don't know, maybe Anna and Adel don't like this story, i don't know.

Ok, after getting home, i sent this draft of script to Oksana, so that she'd correct it and add some more information. As for me, I decided to make pre-storyboard, if i can say so. ))
I just separated all the shots into groups according to the time and place we are going to shoot. This pre-storyboard of mine includes also the dialogues, and description of the shot (like is it a WS or CU, and what we see in this shot - the view); also it contains some descriptions of the costumes or rather look of the actors, and the way they act and talk.

Well, all together i counted 52 different shots, though i guess we'll add some more shots as cutaways. What i like in this film is that it doesn't have a usual storyline, and at the same time it's not very complicated and twisted, at least we'll try to do so. An interesting idea was to have a sort of framing for the story. We did so by introducing a new person. Well, to explain it well i'd have to tell you the whole story.but i can't, so you'll just see it by yourself when everything is ready.

OH, I am sure it will be great!
Part of the film process is getting everybody excited about the project. You really must have a good conversation with Anna and Adel and see what they are thinking. You will need everybody to get this done on time!

Adel has helped us by letting us shoot the film in her flat, that's great, cause she has a red room, which we needed a lot, and didn't know where to find it.

Concerning Anna, today for example she helped us with shooting, but not much, unfortunately. But we all decided that the girls are going to make the pre-editing, and Oksana and me will check it later and make the final one.

Although we can really feel they don't care about it that much anyway.
