Is the title of our documentary seminar and so far our pre-production guest sourcing team have done incredibly well. We have one guest booked in via Skype and also another close to being booked. Both of our guests are Australian documentary filmmakers, who both have a documentary in MIFF this year so they are exciting guests to have. Our other guests are hopefully going to be within producing/ funding/ AFTRS or just from another aspect of documentary making. The whole idea of our seminar is the process of making a documentary from ideas to funding to morals to post production. It is all about how to make a documentary.
My job within this group is post-production and liasing with the steering committee so my jobs are quite interspersed and really I have to wait till after our seminar to really start this aspect of post-production for now it will be putting together bios on our guests to email to the steering committee when they are confirmed.
Today, was mainly spent scheduling the day itself, catering, coming up with questions and our tag-line. When we started generating some questions we realised it would be easier to figure out the areas we wanted to explore. These areas are:
- IDEAS AND CREATIVITY
- ETHICS
- LIMITATIONS
- PRODUCTION
- FUNDING/ SUSTAINABILITY
Throughout the week we will generate questions around each of these topics. Basically, everything is going quite well we are moving forward and finding guests without too much difficulty. It is difficult to report on my side of the process as I am mainly working in post so it will come later on.
