More Rough Stuff








Producing a rough shot list was the next aspect of the shoot.  These were produced from the sequences done on a mini-dv camera and then turned into stills.  The actual shoot (on May 29th) used these for the basis of lining up the shots, and it was useful in determining any problematic shots within the location.  We went for a series of shorter improvisation performances with Jenny and Ute, the musicians, to create a potentially flexible situation for the edit.  But, we'll see when we come to the edit.

Another aspect of these performances was utilizing the different spaces; one sequence with Jenny in the clock room, for example,  and Ute below in the pendulum room. acoustically these were interesting with a kind of distant  commentary on the closer 'soloist' being filmed and recorded in the room  itself.  having one camera - how this sequence will be edited will be tricky but, I think, challenging in an interesting way.
