Only two days after last class, I haven’t been able to do all that much. What I have been able to do, however, is scout for sports grounds and locations where we can shoot the metaphorical scenes. Wan Chai Sports Ground is a convenient location for everybody; however I have concerns that the government will not allow us to use the place without reservations made by the higher-ups. The sports-ground in Wong Chuk Hang however, is open to the public, a fact I know because I pass by the place multiple times a week. It is located in the southern end of Hong Kong Island though, and may be troublesome for people to go to and from there. Our director has said that for the metaphorical scenes, he visions the objects being acted upon in front of a white backdrop. This is easy enough to find – the 6th floor outside the film classroom has white walls, the walls of my room have white walls, I’m sure others will have white walls should the need to improvise arise.
Ms. Wong came over today and suggested I fill out scene breakdown sheets to organize future shoots. It was a new experience for me, and was relieved when Ms. Wong produced sample sheets for me to review, spelling out the things I would need to organize, such as actors, props, equipment etc. I found this to be quite useful, as it allowed me to spell out clearly what would be needed, when, where and for what scene.
