In today’s lesson, we were assigned
our film groups and split up to run through the respective director/writer’s
scripts. I was in a group with Ethelia, Ran, Matthew, and Jonathan, and we were
using the script Ethelia wrote. The run through of the script went a lot
smoother than the one I tried to organize in the last unit, and having seen the
work my team members had created in the past year, I was excited to work with them.
Immediately,
we found that the script was too long, so after we completed a run through,
Ethelia and Matthew began debating which scenes could be cut, and brainstorming
ideas for alternate endings. I, as the sound director, began my search for
music by looking on Wong Kar Wai’s Wikipedia page, scrolling down to his list
of works, and looking at each of his films. The part I was interested in was
the soundtrack list. The film I found with the most information in this regard
was 2046 (2004). From this investigative
experience, I learned that there were methodical and logical steps that could
be taken even in the artistic department, and that I did not need to begin my
search completely from scratch. This was particularly true seeing as the
stories are inspired by Wong Kar Wai’s works.
I
was active student in today’s class, participating in the run through of the
script, and after dividing up into our individual roles, working hard to find suitable
music for our film.
