Blog Entry #7

Things could not have lined up any better than they have. This was the absolute perfect timing to do this documentary. Last week I corresponded on the red carpet at the 82nd Annual Academy awards and it was an amazing experience. Not only did I get to be there, but I got great footage as well. Before going to the Oscars there was something missing from my doc.

I will be using the footage to start my doc off to give off a fantasy land impression.  Everyones favorite stars will be stepping out in their beautiful gowns and then I will add a transition into reality somehow with music, great visuals and nat sound. 

I am currently working on my trailer. I've been debating whether or not I wanted to do any voice-overs or if I wanted to let the story tell itself. I am leaning more towards using only the sound bites because I think t will add more mystery to the teaser. Just looking through the footage looking for sound bites is getting me excited because I have some great characters with amazing stories. I am really proud to know that I was able to get them, but now I must transform it all into one compelling story. It is very possible and it is going to happen.

Surprisingly, the most intricate part of this process thus far has has been the video log. It took so much time to complete. I do see the purpose for it though. I have so many tapes and looking for any particular clip will be much more convenient.

Until next time...
