My next task – and a brainstorm of how I’m going to get there.

Invent 2 scenarios tailored for Lauren and Karen – for their actions. Longer scenes, more complex in nature – they don’t need to involve something that

This is a challenge – it might be the biggest flop. At this point, I feel like Lauren could do anything almost and make it look great. For Karen, I would like to create something that I feel might be fitting for her persona and for her actions. This might turn entirely on it’s head and that’s scary.

Lauren: (enter – moving )

• Looking out
• Beach/forest
• Nature – would be good. Or the opposition of some kind of metallic environment… building 100 – or lower down)
• Lauren should find purpose BUT she almost doesn’t need it – there’s enough in just watching her walk
• Contrast in wides and close-ups (mid-close-ups) – with long lenses

Moving through the supermarket or through an outdoor space

Buying a book

Karen: (exit)

• Quick
• Methodical
• Stairs?
• Hurry down the stairs/up the stairs for something
  • Where can I find stairs with good opportunities for coverage?
  • Is this even worth trying or am I biting off more then I can chew? More then is useful?
• Getting the mail from the mailbox/picking up the paper

• Something boring like returning a book (or looking for a book in the library)
• Less extreme difference in coverage

Moving through a sequence to station to get on a train

• Getting on the train
• Walking to a bus stop and waiting at the bus stop & then bus leaves
• Queuing for something
• Walking in the supermarket//contrast could be outdoor market

(At Least) SIX Shots:

1. Long Wide Length Wide Shot looking down – actor walking away from camera

(it would be great to have a similar wide (6mm) to the

1. Wide Shot parallel to walk
2. Wide shot of traveller walking towards camera
3. Tracking  — get some different angles
   1. Looking up (slight angle) on side
   2. Walking directly into (towards) camera – how will this be for the “personnages” involved?
   3. Following behind
   4. Tacking ahead (slightly on the side)
4. Some kinds of gestural closeups – the bag/the paper —— no, this is too predictable – I want the shots to be a better then that. I need to watch more, to think more and learn more. 

I’d like to have some inherent differences between the two (on a base level that I don’t tell the girls about)

• indoor/outdoor
• Fast/slow
• Contrast between wides and close personable faces and expression (wide covers action)
• And similarities: building of some momentum and then a stop

Also – shoot a guy, in that same corridor and with those same ideas as Lauren and the coverage – or two guys if possible….

(people not involved with the course, maybe actors…different ages could be good too)

AND shoot all subjects walking across screen in a busier space (outdoors)

Walking through skate parks
Inherent tools are the ones they already have… as opposed to what is taught

• Getting into the car
