Short film for Broadway

I finish my shot list, call sheet, production schedule and location agreement. Simultaneously, Roger and Paul help me to confirm actors. Last week, we could have a chance to rehearsal our script but main characters have some reasons unavailable to rehearsal. I already prepare my props in the film. I need two costume  to each main characters, because it has two day in my short film. I also still revised my shot list. I want to make film looks like more better. We watch a short video in Broadway that is Roger's final project in his master phase. It is like a work of art. He use pinhole camera to make it and combine B/W photography. It is looks like a photo but we can see people cross the road. It is a very interesting and creative work. 

I still editing my documentary and we help Shirley to shot her film, I am camera man.

Broadway session

Last Friday we watched a film called 'Dig Your own Grave' cinematography by Roger. The film is a black comic gangster film. A hitman prepare to kill a people. The victim also work for gangster but he want to stolen money from his boss. However, hit-man had not killed the assistant. Thus, many strange things is happen. The film is black and white film.  The female leader sit in the room, this shot is very impress me. Because I can feel she is vicious people. In addition, light is very important thing in cinematography in the film. So I will consider how to set up light in my short film. 

Ella and Roger help us to make a schedule for our shooting day. I will shoot my film between 02/06-03/06. 

I have three character in my short film. Forest and Julie is main characters. Forest need a causal costume and a formal costume. Causal costume should wear a casual shirt or hoody and a sport pants or causal trousers. Formal costume should have formal shirt and a suit trousers. This is for Forest. 

Julie also need two costumes no standard. Because Julie have to go to Forest house two days.

Quitus need a costume. It is also no standard.

About props. I will prepare olive oil and two steaks for cooking and I also will buy a bottle of wine and a bunch of flower.

I will make shot list about my short film in this week.

Interview in Mandrill Cafe in Beijing

I watched and analyze interview in Mandrill cafe. Overall, it is a good interview. But I found some problems. First, although sound use additional sound equipment, it is not very satisfied.  Environment sound had a little bit louder but I will use audio effect of Final Cut Pro to adjust it and stress sound of interviewee. Secondly, interviewee wear glasses, my crew find a place make the glasses non-glare. However, the interviewee like to move his body when they talk to some interesting questions he like to talk. 

I think the background of screen is very good because we can seen different colors vintage helmet place in the shelf.
