BLOG ENTRY #5

This is the big week. We get cameras tomorrow. Thankfully, I have kept in touch with my interviewees. The Americas Next Top Model finalist, Ebony Morgan, agreed to be apart of Quick$and. We talked this past weekend and she will be asking her professor this week if it is okay if I capture b-roll of her in class. I want to show her in her current setting, which is simply being a student after all of the glitz and glamor.  I am still debating on how I want to shoot her actual interview. I want to show the normal person side of her, but I also want her to be semi-glamorous because it compliments my story to have actual celebrities from the industry. I haven't been able to think of a fitting background or location for her interview, but today I got the idea of using the green screen with a graphic like they do on reality shows. I can either pic a simple background or I can put an Americas Next Top Model background. I don't want to do anything that would distract viewers away from the speaker though.

I have also been brainstorming on ideas for possible stand-ups when I go to Hollywood for the Oscars in two weeks. It is going to be so perfect to have actual b-roll of stars. It would be even greater to use quick sots from a few of them for an intro and/or the teaser.

I plan on getting Final Cur Pro6 on my macbook so that I can edit at home. I am excited because I already have a lot of tapes to log and capture. My goal is to have my tapes logged and captured by this weekend so I can start creating script drafts to get a feel for how I want to convey my message. After doing our self-study paper, I realize how important all the elements are to the finished product. This is going to be a great final product.

Until next time.
