What a day! Our group spent the entire day in the lab today, and we managed to create a rough but adequate version of our film! It won't be uploaded to the Vimeo account until tomorrow, because I still need to export it, but we managed to accomplish quite a lot today!
Shawn and I figured out how to shoot Maynard's piece without my big head in the reflection. We could shoot the wooden panels head on, but if we wanted to incorporate the glass panel, we had to shoot at an angle. This changes some of our plans in regards to how we exhibit the piece in our film, but it works!
We also shot a scene using the blackboard in the visual lab; I drew maps of Canada and BC with chalk, and then we indicated where the residential schools in BC had been situated. We wanted to capture that school essence by incorporating the blackboard, but also provide information in the process, so we decided the scene would be used to give statistics about BC residential schools.
Maynard had sent us images of the piece in various stages of production, which we also managed to incorporate into the film. Because in the third section he talks a lot about reconciliation and the TRC as a step in the right direction, we thought that by showing images of the piece in stages, this would invoke the sense of progression and accomplishment.
It only took about 10 hours and a pack of Timbits for us to accomplish a great deal in the way of filming and editing. Let's hope that when Michelle and I go to export and upload the film, it all works out well. I'm excited to hear some feedback from my peers in the next few days as well!
