Blog #16: Week 9 – Update and Consultations

All through this week, Paul has scheduled all of us to have a consultation with him to update what we have planned so far and what we’re going to do for the next 3 weeks until week 12. From the last post – I have so far scouted a specific location to film in for the series experiment that I wanted to create.

Before talking about the consultation time I had with Paul. Let me tell you, what my initial plan was for this week. So, I went to scout some location around Melbourne City where there isn’t much of any ‘filming restrictions’ present or is a ‘filming-friendly’ spaces. And I found Lincoln Square about a week ago. I planned to film some footages to start off this project/series of experiments so I could get a more vivid or clear idea and visual of how this project/series of experiment will turn out and how I was going to engage with the skills I get to put into for this project, as well as, learn more about it. Unfortunately, from some specific circumstances, I wasn’t able to do that this week. This is due to the unavailability of my actor/character.

I had a little difficulty with arranging a specific schedule with my friend, Meita – who is supposed to be the ‘character’ in my sequence. Evidently, just like any uni students, after the break, we are all rushing to finish projects and have heaps of new ones to be taken care of. Initially, Meita and I wanted to shoot my first sequence in the Lincoln Park this Wednesday. But, she couldn’t make it because she is caught up with her own university assessments. So, the plan changed after I met up with Paul for the consultations. During

During the consultations, I told Paul my difficulty with scheduling and the frequent mis-scheduling that happens with at least for my project, an important subject/focus. Paul then suggested that I instead of stressing out about it and not do anything to progress, to go visit the location one more time and draw/sketch where the lighting – in this case, where the sun hits on the specific spot – to give a clearer idea of how I am going to film the subject correctly with time used wisely.

So that was what I did.

Here is my sketch:
