In today’s class, William came in with the 2nd version of the script which was a lot more condensed, with repetitive and unnecessary scenes meant to build the character and develop the story taken out. A few metaphorical scenes had been modified or removed entirely, so I edited the list of props needed that I started last class accordingly (e.g. cheetah running changed to motor of race car revving).
Unfortunately I was unable to go location scouting between last class and today’s class, and tomorrow I have to leave for an MUN conference hosted in Beijing, so I won’t be able to work until after the weekend. I hope my group will be able to work something out and do some filming over the weekend. Following this hope, I decided to reserve some equipment for the group from the 8th to the 12th, organizing student IDs and consulting with the director, DP and sound director for equipment required. Before submitting the form however, I needed storyboards and a shot list from the DP to show Ms. Wong and Mr. Chang of our progress. These were only completed at the end of class however, and we weren’t able to reserve the fig-rig. This taught me to make clear anything I need from my teammates right from the start, so that they can get on it quickly, but also to badger them for it when necessary should they deviate from tasks. I also learnt about the equipment reservation process, and got a taste of the tedious paperwork adults always talk about in movies and books.
