I am trying to storyboard at the moment but am having a few problems. Partly that I just cannot visualise it. I can see fragments of a video in my mind and certain shots but there are black bits, where I just cannot seem to find the right shot or what we have just isn't right. We have the basic shape of our concept but nothing definite, just at what point we will be in each location and roughly what the actress will be doing but no indication of shots other than a few keys ones.
So, as we all have a free tomorrow morning I thought we could meet then to discuss ideas and get this on track. I need both of your input in order to be able to do this right. Maybe you can fill in the black spots. As well as going through each others schedules to plan shooting times.
Also. The bird cage/lanterns hanging from the tree where the bench is. I have been looking at my photos playing around with distances and shot sizes and have realised we will not be able to reach the branches of the tree and so cannot hang the bird cage unless we come up with another option, possibly the step ladder, but it may not be in shot. I guess we will just have to try it. The bird cage could always be in every location as a sort of visual link, we could put something inside it maybe? So we need to discuss other alternatives.
I like that idea - could that not be the element that changes in jump cuts on opening sequence; bird cage on lap, next to her, object different...
