    I built the wishing device!

    .

    Footage shot. In the editing phase now.

    .

    Completed and unfinished sections of the film:

    √ 1. Beginning: a chat on the hill about what we would do on the last day of the world (1’08 min)

    .

    2. A video explaining “What happens to Earth after an asteroid impact.”

    Video is turned off suddenly.

    News page of the failure of the defence plan. The asteroid IS coming.

    I break down.

    • Option 1: the record of my real breakdown triggered by a documentary about the pandemic
    • Option 2: the faked ones I shot

    .

    √ 3. Introduce my idea of making a wish to the asteroid. (2’31 min)

    I become excited and explain the idea of wishing to an asteroid.
    I talk about how and when to wish,
    and introduce the idea of making a wearable device.

    .

    √ 4. Test the prototype and tie knots. (1’30 min)

    (Holding the prototype and test the sound effects) You’re filming.
    (Tying knots) Making Chinese knots in middle school craft class was my nightmare.
    So hard to get it right.
    (Hang up the string and pointing at teh knots) Zaojing knot. Double connection knot.
    Hope this helps the wish come true.

    。

    5. Montage of buildings and tyings with news reports. Time flies. (My next priority for cutting.)

    1) building

    .

    2) tying knots

    • more technical vibe? more scenes of the orbits of the asteroid/more analyses??
    • code testing with the real device
    • beads glowing in dark

    .

    √ 6. Ending part (4’19 min)

    • Strong wind and heavy snow
    • A relatively bright sky

    .

    • a long monologue to the camera. Some last words.
    • go up the hill
    • when the sound rises, make the wish

    Electric part works, but worse light condition and no wind.

    I prefer the one with wind. (Option: post produce the LED effects in AE)

    .

    .

    Extra: Also took photos (excluded from the film)

    .

    Already 9’30 min. Aim to edit the whole film down to 15min.

    5. End: Emotional Collapse

    Footage Draft

    Video

    Raw Footage/ Running Clip Snipped:

    Audio

    New Role of Sound: it is what connects to his inner feelings and the ghost orchestra – but doesn’t solely carry the story now. It is a part of it, just like the rest :

    because we got into the visuals and it made sense to us to also focus on visuals. It naturally developed and it felt like the focus on the sound limited us.

    We managed to make much more with the visuals than we thought we can do. Now each dimension of the film equally tells its part of the story.

    Sound: snipped

    The Red Thread

    the colour RED connects:

    • emotions
    • ghost orchestra
    • protagonist
    • sound

    We chose the color red to act as a visual thread throughout the entire film. It appears always in connection with the bodies listed above.

    Questions we have

    How do you feel about the name ” Ghost Orchestra” for our film?

    Currently I have drawn 75 frames

    • My animation style is rough, otherwise it’s impossible to finish the film until January.
    • Normal pacing: 2 to 4 fps
      Emotional scenes (f.e. slamming on desk): 6 fps

    Interfaces: Which aesthetic and frame rate fits my animation style?

    • Stylistic tool/showing difference: 25 fps and not hand drawn?

    Hand drawn images but still with 25fps

    Vector based 25fps

    What We Do in the Shadows (2015) – A mockumentary style comedy horror film on vampires

    Bill Nicols modes of documentary:

    Reflective Mode
    Questioning the authenticity of documentary in general (fits to the brief: make a “fictional” documentary)
    Challenge the form and expectations you have by watching a documentary
    Form in this mode: the mockumentary
    Depicting an observational/expository documentary but completely fictional.
    we will be subjective, getting across an absurd point, poking fun at all the tropes and play with convention
    Eg. ‘What We Do in the Shadows’, ‘7 Days in Hell’, ‘Tour de Pharmacy’, ‘the Office’

    Participatory Mode
    ‘When the encounter between filmmaker and subject is recorded and the filmmaker actively engages with the situation they are documenting’ (Nicols, 2010)
    The filmmakers are as well the subjects of our doc as the sloth they are filming
    Eg. Michael Moore, Louis Theroux
    This allows for us to get our “subject” viewpoint across – and tell the narrative we want to tell

    Documentary form & styles:

    • the interview (authenticity & authority) off-camera & formal + informal interview style (sloth tending it’s plants, showing the special toilet procedure)
    • ‘voice of god’ narrator style
    • B roll (location shots of apartment, sloth going outside, close up of front pack, crew setting up/having discussions) providing visual variety and showing what’s being talked about and give pace to the doc and topics
    • scenes (sloth running into friend) making the audience feel like they are there
    • archival footage (old pictures of sloths, giving some backstory in introduction (giving historical context of development of community), also to explain certain features of the modified human sloth eg the 4 stomaches)
