Monday 21st January

Today we met a level 3 Single Camera Media group to discuss a possible collaboration with Shane Bailey and I for our Audio Project 2 (their Media Project 2). This collaboration would include the media group producing,  filming and editing a film and for us to record all location sound and to take the audio into post production to finish. In this meeting, the group discussed their ideas for their film, What Hurts More?. What Hurts More? is a comedy about a man, who somehow, becomes pregnant. The film is just in the ideas stage at the minute, with just a story board planned. The script hasn’t been started yet but we were informed that a draft of the script should be completed in 2 weeks for us to read through and to spot. They finished by asking us certain questions that they had prepared for any audio groups that approached them for this possible collaboration. They asked such questions as, why did we choose to approach a single cam group? and asked for our average grade boundaries. This showed to us that they were serious about producing a good film that would receive a high mark, that could possibly be used for a portfolio when complete. We finished with a few questions. Questions such as how much creative freedom would we have with it being a comedy? and if they had a prepared schedule, as we were a little worried that script writing hadn’t begun yet with it being late January. We were told we would receive full freedom with the sound, but wanted us to get inspiration from the film Juno when producing the music for it. We were also told we would get a schedule within the week. After a few more discussions, the media group and Shane and I agreed that we’d work together on their comedy film, What Hurts More?
