Week 001 - Proposal Sheet.

Currently working, well sorta finished the proposal sheet.
Kalli told me her ideas and wrote down her paragraph, I wrote down mine and we just collaborated and our sheet was done basically in one sitting, in about an hour.

I'm glad for that.
We think a like and we both like the same things and have been keeping out for festivals and have been pursuing (read: dabbling) filming outside of school, so it was great to have someone to be enthusiastic with.

We researched film festivals and competitions together over the internet, and were both very interested in the Siemens 90 second video, shot on a camera phone.

And are both very tempted to try and enter - even though the dateline is the 16th of March.

But first things first.
After looking at Melbourne International Film Festival, TropFest, St Kilda Film Festival, we finally found one that was within our dateline for the subject while also being doable. I.e. not in May, April, March.
In The Bin's closing date is the 29th of July, so that gives us the semester to complete and also time enough to submit our piece to the competition.

We talked about the film - Velvet Black, Kalli also mentioned a script that she had written, but I think we're sticking with Velvet Black, though I did encourage her to either film it later on or try to incorporate it somehow into Velvet Black... nevertheless I told her not to give up on it.

I had spoken to Peter about it the day before and he had in mind the same kind of look and feel that I did: somewhat montage in style, we'd see the what the character sees but interject and cut it with blurry, out of focus shots of the actual rape, the events that lead her to that point out from her mind.
I think that's a good mood and place to start from anyway.
