Jackson Goldberg - Day 14

More writing today, but some filming as well. I guess I'll start with the writing, though there really isn't a whole lot of new information to report. I'm about ten pages in, and I'm thinking it's getting a little long because I've just got to the inciting incident. I'm trying to keep it below 30, but it's definitely best to write more than you think you need then less, just so you have all your ideas out on the table. If need be, you can truncate the story and clean it up a bit later. As for filming, we returned to Boulevard Elementary School today to film more for the end-of-year video, which I believe we will continue to work on throughout the rest of the week. Mostly we focused on getting outdoor shots of the older kids (fourth graders, in this case), either playing games together or at least interacting in large groups. I actually got a chance to direct some of the children myself. It wasn't much, but we needed a low-angle shot of some students playing basketball, so I set up the camera, positioned the kids and told them what to do/where to go to avoid going out of frame. Again, nothing particularly heavy, but it was a nice nugget of experience.
