On advice, the whole script and documentary could be done in a much more inventive way.
So I sent this message to perk up my team a little.
Hi guys,
The script we have so far is very formal and straight. I would like to do something different, on advice), only problem is we need to have some ideas. The content is probably o.k. but we should do something different and inventive with it really.
We can only do this if we all have an input.
If not, we will just stick to how we are doing it, as that is the only way we are going to get it actually finished.
We don't have a great deal of time, but we do have a lot of photos, a lot of video footage, and stuff to work with.
I know I have done the script pretty much, but I did it in the simplest and straightforward way as we have other stuff to do and needed to get somewhere with it.
Scrap the piece to camera that I was going to do, if we can come up with something original and different we can make it really good.
The script is in the writeboard to edit. Go in there put your ideas in and make something good out of the information I have already put in there. Save a new version, then we can all edit and keep working on stuff, and see what we like.
Jonny, look for some really inventive music, put maybe 5 different short snippets, stuff you have found that we can use, or stuff you have written. Evaluate them and tell us why you think they will be good or bad.
Maybe they might set a tone for our script.
If we don’t get a move on, then we will have to stick to my formal crap that I've written. It’s basic, and does the job, but why do that when we can do something inventive?
Let’s see if we can get some ideas floating for Monday. There’s nothing wrong with going and recording some voiceover stuff first. It doesn’t have to match identically to what we are seeing on screen. Show not tell, and all that jazz.
If we have nothing new by Monday, we will stick to what we have.
Destroy my formal crap and Get editing people
