Consultation with Christine this morning

I'm so happy to hear that Christine likes our story, and the style we planning to shoot. She gave us some suggestions in the meeting.

She suggests that we can set up a high contrast lighting on the first mirror sequence, where Stacey will be examine her the aged wrinkles on her face. To create a half clear and bright and half in the dark. We all liked this idea, it give a delicate sense a person's profile.


Chrisitne gave me some advices one framing because most of the visuals will be filming her doing her daily routine, houseworks, and even just making a cup of tea or coffee. It would be great and nice to frame and film them artistically, such framing with other subject(s).

For example: to film Stacey making a cup of tea can be filmed in a low angle back at the dinning table, with the steam comes out from the kettle in the background.


I like the idea she said, and now i'm also watching a few documentary online/and from the digi doss, trying to get some inspirations to frame the tattos on her body, on her hands and her back.


I think our story will be great if we can join the disjointed (but actually abstractly jointed) audio and visuals together.


I'm planning to connect the visual footage of her present life with the audio of she telling her past struggling experiences. For example, for the part when she talks about she threw everything away during the time she's quitting because she didn't want to see her old stuff and past memories. I'd like to get a visual footage of just her doing daily houseworks, clean up the flat and tight up the rubbish bags, as to symbolize and reflect on her past experience of throwing away everything.

And I'm also hoping to get those sound of vacuuming and throwing the garbage to put in between her narration of past and present, so that the audio won't be only having her narration about her past but sometimes overlapping with the jointed audio of her present life (doing daily house works..etc), and sometimes fading as background sound.


It's a bit hard to explain here, i will try my best to do it in the editing and so that people can really understand what I'm talking about. lol
