I got the film I shot for my $100 Film Festival Film back
this week. It looks good to me. I still have some more shots to get. Then I can
move on to the edit.
I’ve started to think about what kind of sound track to do.
I can’t do sync sound, but some kind of voice over or music would work OK. The
first idea I had was to have a cacophony of voices and have individual phrases
and lines popup into the foreground.
I’ve had a good idea about the images I want for a while
now, but now I have to give more thought about the point I want to make. For a
long time now, I’ve wanted to do a film about contingency: what happened didn’t
necessarily have to happen. Just by chance, I got a shot that conveys that idea
quite well. That makes me think this could be the film where I do it.
The original suggestion I got from Howard Horwitz was to do
a film about the $100 Film Festival. My idea of contingency works well with how
the festival came about. If you read the article (http://www.bukisa.com/articles/137107_the-history-of-the-100-film-festival
) I wrote about the festival you can see that there were several times where I
might have dropped the idea before I proposed it.
I wanted to use a quote about contingency from Stephen Jay
Gould. I was sure I had recorded it, but I can’t find it now. I’m tempted to
record it with someone else, but I feel that would be cheating. Maybe I need to
come up with my own line to convey the same point.
