5th part

Fivo

Fivo talked about his current life and his current job.

There are several factors that causes the first plan for the short documentary film does not work out like it suppose to be. After I did the rehearsal interview with Fivo Freitas I found out that the third person that I should interview (Ana Noronha) is not available, because she is moving back to East Timor a year ago. When I heard the news of her absence,I had to find a replacement for her, which means that I also need to change the plan that I have made before.

From the rehearsal interview, I gather plenty of information and I used them to make a new plan. When I realised that I had to find a replacement for Mrs Noronha, I straight away contacted Robin dos Santos to replace her.

The storyboard above reflect the new plan for this short documentary film that I am working on.For the plan, I am going to let Francedez Suni to be the moderator for the interview of Fivo Freitas and Robin dos Santos.

I consider this interview as try out interview or rehearsal interview, the purpose of conducting this interview is to collect as much informations as I can, in order to prepare for the upcoming interview.

After conducting this interview I have gathered several useful informations, which I can use to write my script and make a plan for the upcoming interview or my final interview for this short documentary film project.

From this rehearsal interview I realised that the sounds play crucial role in a documentary film, particularly the film that full of interview. this try out interview also gives me a clue to position the camera when I am going to shot the final part of this project.

I was thinking of considering this interview as final part of this project, but when I reviewed it, I realised that there are plenty of things that still needed to be improve and I was not have a maximum preparation for it. Therefore, I take this interview as a preparation stage for the upcoming interview or the final part of this project.

In this interview Fivo is delivering information very well, and I was enjoy listening to him for almost twelve minutes without any pause, because most of the informations that he provided are important for the final part of this short documentary project.

After listening and gathering all those informations, I started to think of the script and looking for the third person to participate in the final part of this project. Most of the materials for the the short documentary film will be focusing on Fivo Freitas, therefore most the informations that he has provided will be used on the script for the upcoming interview.

I think I am lucky, because I could have a chance to conduct the try out interview, which helps me a lot in preparation for the upcoming interview.

This story board represent my first plan of shooting the short documentary film, in this story board I mainly focusing on the interview of Fivo Freitas and combine it with the third  party interview. furthermore in this story board also show the location of the interview which located mostly in Fivo’s residence.

I have contacted Fivo and he said he is ready for the interview, but the Third person inthe interview (Ana Noronha) will not be able to participate in this interview, because she has moved back to East Timor. Therefore, this plan is going to be changed.

This exercise was done in week nine; I want to look back at this exercise, because my short film project is quite related to this exercise. In this exercise we were focusing on the lighting, we learned how to manage the lighting and set the lighting to fit the story line of the film. In this short exercise I was in charge of the clapperboard, which was fun and it helps me to focus on this exercise.

In my short film project lighting is playing crucial role, cause it can help to explain the location of the film. Besides lighting also help to describe the subject. Therefore, this exercise gives me technical inspiration to improve my skill in setting up lighting in the future.
