'Professional pre-production - Vodcast "Truth and Justice"
Overall the pitch was pretty good. You presented an original idea that has good scope for you to develop your skills as a DP.
I got a good portion of the idea, that you will be taking an existing podcast and turning it into visual form - but I wasn't clear if this was a one off or a series? Are you only doing crime stories.
You need to research and develop what kind of form this will take. It's critical that you work to idea that this is a mobile medium and all your visuals must fit and work to that sizing. What kind of budget would be put into Vodcast?so you need to be working towards that.
Think about the visuals you will produce, what are they? a sequence? a title sequence? what else?
You need to research cinematography and DP's, and the genre of mobile content. Short docs. Vodcasts.
You need to write up a detailed list of what you both will be producing for the pre-production package so we can draw up your learning agreement. Email this to me before next tutorial.'
From this specific feedback, we realised that not all queries had been answered and thus we needed to develop our concept to solidify the basic construct of it. In our mind we knew that more research had to be done about the content of it, as it is a original piece, that has new implications to the medium it is screened on.
After this pitch, i now know that research is needed to grasp a real aesthetic for this show, and i'll be able to capture that with further inspection into my favourites D.O.Ps and cinematographers that have a style which matches the proposed aesthetic we want to try and achieve with this project.
As my approach for this unit is through the perspective of a D.O.P, i'll be looking at DPs for inspiration on general aesthetic, lighting, colour/tone & framing. Some DPs i'll be further dissecting will include - Jeff Cronenweth, Adam Arkapaw & Natasha Braier. They've all done work or collaborated on work which interests me but also has the similar kind of aesthetic that we desire for our project.
