we were all half dead, tired and worst of all, not up for any detailed discussions on anything.
the aim was to draw up the basic story board and if time allows fit in the list of shots we would like filmed. After some 15-30 minutes of settling down, we've managed to start working.
Seeing as we are actually filming in Raunds, Northampton, we cannot allow for mistakes and had to be very clear on what we were trying to achieve as we will only have one chance to get most of it right (we will probably get it all right but always leave room for errors right). It is crucial that each and every one of us in the group has a clear understanding as to what we are aiming at - we've decided to let the documentary flow as the day goes by(it will happen in the daily routine sequence)
- intro shot
- dad at home composing - what he usually do during the day, a few questions thrown in: informal interview
- montage with interview answers as audio
- pick kid up from school, play in the park
- 'chips on bench in park' as dinner - to show emotive caring side of fatherhood
- dad gets changed at home whilst kid gets interviewed - informal
- on the way to gig - more casual interview
- gig
- aftermath of gig
all of the above WILL be filmed however not all will be in the final edit - it's important we have more than enough clips so to allow options as to what the final edit will be.
we have a vague idea of what audios we would like but nothing has been decided and set in stone yet - we have agreed that for the final credits we will be asking Tom(our single dad) to play us a version of his songs on acoustic guitar allowing us to use music that is not only relevant, but most importantly will save us trouble with copyrights etc.
- however due to the nature of how our documentary is filmed at a travelled location we will try and concentrate on alllowing more time for the editing (hence the possibly excessive amount of footage that will be shot).
we shall conquer, watch this space
