Had my tutorial with Graham today. I new I was going to be in for it and thought I would end up crying but it was great. I did well up a couple of times but I didn't actually cry. It was really helpful. Graham asked me lots of questions and made me really think about what I wanted to do. I told him all the things that have been in my head and he helped me put some order to them by the questions he asked. I have found it really difficult to get my head round this project and really wish I had gone to him sooner. He can be harsh at times and even a little scary but I think it is all honest and valuable questioning. I really need to be doing something I love and not just doing something for the sake of the brief.
So its quotes that I am going for. Quotes or stories that stick out in peoples minds that make them happy, smile, laugh, give them inspiration.
I need to start thinking about locations, lighting, sound. Looking at styles of documenting. I need at least four interviews by next week. I think I would like to just record some interviews without the visuals and create new visuals for the audio. I also need to think about audience, how this film is to be viewed and where. This will help inform and narrow the content and stop me from feeling lost.
Then in a strange twist of fate I bumped into this lovely lady at the bus stop and we started chatting. She works up the road from the college, at St Anne's detox centre and she told me that they have positive affirmations all over the walls at the centre written by and for the people that use the resource. She gave me the number of the manager and said I should ring him. That would be great as alcoholism is something very close to my heart as my Dad was an alcoholic and he died at the age of 45 when I was 17.
