Major Production - FaceTime meeting with Team

So as I was in Manchester, Callum was tied up with sorting out things at home, we decided that it was best to come together through FaceTime and discuss arising issues that had appeared so far with our project. Aimee had established that we needed more coverage for the specific scenes stated below, so Callum got on with organising another reshoot date with the cast and I got in contact with Ferg to book out the kit in advanced to prep for these shoots.
We basically spoke about the first edit/rough cut and how it was coming a long, we all contributed ideas and fresh insight into the project to allow Aimee some different perspectives other than just herself and Will.

Heres a list of things we needed to get more coverage of - 
- Coverage for scene 1 -
Shot/pan of feet.
More coverage of laptop
POV from characters of laptop
High-five needs to be speeded up by frame rate & close up
Sam thinking, close up/zoom in to his eureka moment?

Coverage for scene 4 -
Slow zoom on Sam's face indicating anger
Lower audio - emphasis on face

Coverage for scene 5 -
See more of the laptop from the characters perspective
more fan footage


Coverage for scene 6 -
See more singles of faces
More close up shots of general visuals. 

Coverage for scene 10 -
More close up shots of general visuals.
Need more fan footage for this scene


Penguin Scene Rough Cut -
So Aimee and Will had done a rough cut of possibly the most complex scent to edit and shoot. It gave us more of an idea on whether this scene would need reshooting or not, but fortunately the feedback was that we didn't need to as we still had loads of unseen GoPro footage to delve through yet. 


I organised a list of equipment that we'd need for these reshoot days - 

Kit that we will need from the 18th - 25th March - Tripod & Panasonic, lights will be borrowed from Laura in our year. Tascam and boom pole & mic will be essential. 

These meetings are really useful in the sense that it's a time where we all get to share our creative ideas and also state where we are up to with our roles. Aimee let us know how far into the edit she is, Andrew let us know how he's getting on with his creation of the sound beds, and myself and Callum were allowed to contribute to the edit and put forward ideas that can help take it up a level. I also let the group know that i'm researching colour palettes for sitcoms and trying to figure out what one would be best suited to ours. I'll have to keep searching and delving further into the colourist books to pinpoint the exact aesthetic that will emphasise and bring to life our project most appropriately.
