I am going almost on gut instinct with this new mini-feature project. There have been two significant shooting sessions, both of which well fairly well. As soon as we are doing shooting, I review the footage and dump it onto my hard drive. I edit it the same night after shooting. After that, I reviw the little new material I now have to get a sense of the vibe, where I think the film is headed, and what I think I might want to add.
There is a rough sequence of events. (A rough plot, that is.) The structure is very loose, however, and I can probably add in or subtract select elements without disrupting the story. You could say that this is an experiment, in some respects. And since a lot of the plot itself is unscripted, I will have to keep compensating throughout. I don’t know what the next day will bring, what the next shooting session will add.
It’s exciting like that, but also precarious. I am always unsure if I am doing “the right thing”. Will this get anywhere? I am hopeful, but I am also enjoying it as it happens. So, I just need to follow my gut.
