PB#3 Pitch + Proposal
Haylee and I presented our documentary concept today. We were reasonable relaxed in presenting our idea as we feel comfortable with what we’d like to achieve and how to achieve it. Our biggest concern is that Ariel will not give us as much time as we would like, but we’re hopefully that once we get rolling with him he will warm to us and better understand the benefits for him i.e. posting the final video online to his socials and/or a recollection of his achievements to share with friends and family.
Rohan encouraged us to reiterate that the film is a celebration of Ariel and his longstanding career as the Coogi Man. I think that once this sinks in with Ariel he will be more inclined to spend more time with us and show off a little.
Haylee and I visited RMIT’s Audio Visual Loans studio in building 8 during our lunch break and tentatively booked a Canon 5D Mark III, a Canon L Series 24 – 105mm f4 lens, Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro, a Zoom H5N mic, a Sennheiser Single Channel Lapel mics and a tripod.
EDITING STRATEGIES:
(Haylee and I have been assigned ROOM 2 suite for editing)
#Use the editing suite as an office.
#Structure the documentary using index cards.
STEPS FOR EDITING INTERVIEW
- Markers with the questions added to the clip: in clip bin, not timeline. (side note: written transcript of everything that is said, 6:1 ratio–six hours typing per one hour interview)
- Second step, cut out all the footage you don’t need from clip.
- Remove moments that could be replaced by cutaways, or moments that aren’t that important in telling the story.
