Lisa has rushes of Felicity, Harry, Karen & Tony aiming to transcribe by next Friday. I need to check if uni lends out laptops, it would make it easier for her. (ask on facebook? Intimate but not direct to anyone, just everyone!). She is also keen on 3 screens.. use of black screen white text to expose some backdrops...give dates, historical Tory speeches, interwoven. Will see whats missing from what we want to expose, discuss and shine a light upon. What happened in an obvious politicial way to the other layers of what happens, the personal changes and challenges.
MUSIC: I have a thing about spoons, Terry Fields ex MP, played the spoons at the end of gatherings, folky, round, practical, alive! Also both of like the idea of some massive attack, something from Blue lines. Tony mentioned Factory did a fundraiser with the Fall for the 47, chaos?! Maybe a bit of o classical... Old tapes of Paragonz, Spontaneous, etc.
EDIT: Lisa still keen to learn FCP and also do this and in some ways so am I, gets closer to the footage and creative process but hands, fucking hands, fucked.. not fucked just. Earlier Chris E from LSBU said if I send through a treatment there might be a camera or editor they could recommend. Would like someone to sound mix too. Though Maxim from Cam Branch might be good, good politics and also amazing time lapse footage.
CONTEXT: Both agreed we would like relevance visualised, events and lobbies via Pete M or Creative Commons agreements. Also to include the recent 25000 redundancies in Sheffield and others in Brum. Compare and contrast with the tactical use by Liverpool to give them more time, though this was used to further attack the 47. Images of black cabs, redundancy has to be discussed and why. Note what the mainstream story is and what is beneath the surface. Be god to get interview of Derek H and Jackie. Would be mad not to have Derek in there, if anyone knows about what went on, they will know of him and perhaps re-interview some to deepen the information, or speaking whilst outdoors, doing things.. Context of industrial action, Wapping, GCHQ.
Other footage - Ask John Kennedy and also keep him posted about our project.
FUNDING & CONTRACTs: collaberative contracts for all those involved, net profit based on role/time used. Maybe Sophie or an Arts Manager who wants to focus on Film... develop fundraising model and distribution or database elements. Lots of tasks but be good to have some skills that are developed not just to be developed. More skills and focus on me than just on others.
Chris also told me there was a history to 3 screens from pre Renaissance.
Look at Bill viola The passing - 1 screen his child, one him in water and the third his mother, dying. (makes me think about Last picture of you, another unfinished project...)
3 is also an important number
Film: TIMECODE
Chantal Akermann - 70's
Storytelling technique 'News from home'
Image in frame is scanned.
Reading suggestions from Chris E:
Film - Andrea Arnold (Red Road)
Exhibtion - Surviellance & the State @ tate (is that possible this week???)
Consider sensor projections... interactive... ?? What does that bring or give?
Perhaps a place that people could record their own memories of the 47 or what was going on then and now?? Youtube with camera in computer, an old version of the voxpop?
Consider how the 3 screens will relate to each other, what dialogues? abstract? representational, add layers? Why not a traditional narrative? What is the relationship between form and content? The form won't allow me the layers I would like to see and process to be reflected. Somethings of ti, somethings of Lis, somethings of us...
(add some texts or comments of process? I can't work by texts? Comments on facebook?)
When - JAN Draft test space, rushes interwoven in lab.. how does this work? How could it work?
If I was to distribute Dave's work - Key cities, Liverpool, Manchester, London, Coventry, Brum, Sheffield, Kirklees, Cardiff. As part of discussion for anti cuts alliances? Mayday?
