Today me and Andy spent the day in London for a two hour meeting with Lift. The meeting went very well and I feel that we will work well with them. We sent down an initial pitch to the director who read through it and asked us further questions at the meeting. We soon began bouncing ideas and coming up with new ones in the process. We now both feel that we have a good idea of the direction that we would like the film to go in. I had the idea of presenting personal emotions and feelings towards the project rather than just relaying facts to the viewer. The benefit of this should be a more compelling film that the viewer will be able to connect with rather than just watch in situ. Inspiration for this came from the PDP method that the BBC use in which the filmmaker immerses themselves more in the film and has an actual relationship with the subjects. I hope to use this to allow the emotions of the individual people involved with the project tell the story.
Now, after the meeting, we have to write an invitation for possible interviewees. This will be sent to Lift they will invite the people that we discussed with them and come up with a schedule for us. So we should be starting to shoot in London very soon!
The enormity of this project has really hit me and Andy, and we are excited to be a part of such a massive event.
