Engage the viewer

October 13, 2015

bijal_jogi_goat_over02_webI continued putting together basic mockups for shots using the actual puppets and backgrounds to create storyboards. I’m working on a scene that had not really been fleshed out before. It was the only one that I had never gotten around to. It features a lot of walking around in the desert with the passage of several days, as the character goes through a lot of internal turmoil.How do you make something like that interesting? I have been experimenting with different ways to show the desert. Adjusting the stage setup offers a lot of variety, as does lighting. In addition to this, as the narration is poetry, it is a lot of fun to play with the visuals and not try to mimic the words. The viewer is already digesting the meaning in those words. That information is there, so I can play with other moments in the visuals that can add to the story, rather than repeating what has already been communicated. This is how I am approaching this film and how I hope to keep the storytelling engaging. In terms of lighting, I don't have lights that can be focused and with the electricity going every other hour, I just need to use battery powered lights so I can see things in the photos I'm taking for storyboarding. I can add lighting references later which can be used to put together lighting setups.
