I had a meeting with Sugini as her Assistant Director and Assistant Editor to catch up with her and talk about how to make her piece progress. Here are the main points we discussed:
Sugini told me she had been having trouble deciding what to do for sound in terms of music so we discussed the many options available and formulated a 3 stage plan of the top 3 options available in order of most ideal to least...
1) Get a Tamal Musician to compose a piece of music for the piece. This ideally would be made to the visuals once created so that it follows the emotion journey with the visuals however this isn't always possible as musicians and composer don't always like to do this. She is going to send an email to musician she has discovered on Youtube who advertises himself as a composer for films like hers.
2) There is a composer in our class who would be a back up incase a Tamal musician isn't able to do it for her. She is going to go talk to him and explains his and see if he is open to making this style of music for her. This way would allow her to be part of this composer side of the music too.
3) The final option is to find a royalty free piece of music that works and if needs be edit it slightly herself in sound software. This is the last resort though.
These options allow her to start getting her music organised and hopefully get a track made.
We then discussed script writing and she explained the kind of script she wants to write for her piece as a voice over. I offered to put her in touch with my housemate who is a script writer on another course and was more than willing to help.
Lastly we then talked about visuals and she explained the kind of shots she was aiming to do and the equipment she was testing out for these. I offered up suggestion for these and I then helped her complete a risk assessment for her test shoot so she could take this equipment out.
As I am aware Sugini is filming her piece abroad and I am unable to be there so I am trying to help her as much as possible in this planning and pre-production stage and I will then be involved in post-production a lot too.
