- Project Title: (TBA)
- Team Members: Santiago, Karla, Alaric
- Concept | Storyline:
We wish to juxtapose two characters, with one embodying the first monologue and the other embodying the second one.
What is the piece (article, poem, story) for the narrative voice over? Or who are you going to interview?:
Luthen’s speech from Andor and an excerpt from The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa read by either Karla or Alaric
What’s the story about?:
We are juxtaposing the monologues because they mirror each other in context. In addition, our group feels like we strongly relate to the contents of both pieces given that we are all super seniors. Hearing both of the audios will give you a better sense of what I mean when I say they are like two sides of a coin.
Which part of the story are you going to focus on?:
Both of these excerpts are centered around dreams; in Luthen’s monologue, he details how he must sacrifice his life and his values, for the sake of a dream that he will never see come to fruition, a fact that he is keenly aware of, yet is still unwavering in his resolve. Conversely, Bernardo exists in a state of perpetual daydreaming, yet struggles to ground himself in reality. One character sacrifices everything for a goal he won’t see accomplished, while the other relishes in a dream he can’t seem to work towards.
What kind of style/aesthetics are you going to pursue?
Dark, fruitless, forlorn. Maybe in the style of a Music video
Execution Plan:
What equipment are you going to use when shooting the movie? (cell phone, DSLR camera, sound recorder, stabilizer..):
Cell Phone and stabilizer because we feel the video quality is strong enough without the need to use a camera and its equipment. Some audio equipment for Al’s voiceover
Which locations will it be shot at? When is it? Day time/night/unknown? Why?:
At night and after sunset in Xuhui, preferably in older, darker areas to really set the scene to match with the audios.
What are some challenges you might encounter and how will you prepare?:
Troubleshooting in terms of filming techniques. None of us have any experience working behind a camera so I think that will probably be the toughest hurdle.
How will you collaborate? How will you divide work? (Gantt Chart below*):
