Assignement Day Check List and Feedback

Completed  documentary - Check
Overall I am pleased with the documentary, the information is unique and new. However I didn't use much of Dr. Antony  becasue he was rambling and the sound bites would not have made for a good documentary. N


Completed in class display - Check
The hard work and money spend paid off. This team is proud of our in class display.


Appearance Release Forms- Check
I had to omit some persons from the interview due to time constraints. However the paper work of the interviewees used are in my hands.


Permission Letters

Of all the requests made via paper, the only paper trail that came to fruition and used in this documentary was that  of the National Museum.

The use of the Pescheir Graveyard was granted to us by Charlene Costello, the holder of the key and descendent of the Peschiers.


The rest of paper work concerning footage were omitted, such as the La Regalda snd brole from GISL,  as they were used in our documentary.

Time To Panic!!!!

Ok, so we are two days away from assignment submission date and Lorraine Goring-Brown is nowhere close to finishing this documentary. I guess she did not anticipate how much work this involved. I am here to give her the support in whatever way she needs help, but by this delay, my script will be delayed too, as the final edit determines the accuracy of this documentary's storyline. Bon dia!

In Class Decor

The plan is to create a colonial decor for our in class display. This includes a 4 x 6 painting depicting the Queen's Park Savannah, the Boissiere house, Cocoa Houses which represented the Stollmeyers and the cemetery of the Peschiers. That picture will be  supported by pipe dream units and placed in the middle of brocade curtains and cascading valences. the curtain rod  will be held by 3 adhesive hooks. 


I have decided that the tables are bulky and does not  compliment the colonial era  artwork. In place of the SBCS tables I will use a corner stand to hold the speakers, laptop and headphones on one side, on the other side I will use two white parasols to lend to the colonial theme.

Narration Snag

Glen Preddie has be under the weather and is not available to finish the narration. As a result I have decided to voice the rest  of the story line which involves the Stollmeyers and revoice some the names he mis-pronounced such as Zuzule (Zoo.Zool) and Peschier (Pay-She a' or Pesh. ee. a').
 You might ask, why was it that Glen didn't voice the entire script.? Well, due to imperfect audio during interviews, some of the sound bites had to be omitted. Therefore this group decided to wait until portions of the documentary were edited, then proceed with the story line to make our work easier.

I am not sure how that would sound but at this point I am desperate and need to complete the documentary.

Deadline At Hand

This group intends to post this documentary by Wednesday of this week, provided that all goes well with the editing process. Lorraine's laptop is not reading some of the footage from Gerard Besson and within there lies the basis of our documentary.
I am trying not to panic. In the meantime, I will assist Lorraine by gathering all the necessary photos for the purpose of b-role.

Gerard Besson Footage

The quality of the Gerard Besson footage is not the best, but that is not the real issue at hand. Lorraine is having issues with importing the settings and right now Besson looks like a ten cents floating on a black ocean.

Lorraine will try to get into contact with Christopher Aaron to rectify this issue by tomorrow.

Changes to 4 x 6 Painitng

Upon delivery of the 4 x 6 canvas, I realized that the original and agreed details were altered.The artist included the Boissiere house but neglected to put in the Stollmeyer Castle.The direction of the horseman has changed as well. 

 

At this point nothing can be done. Although the cocoa houses in the back drop reflects the Stollmeyers who also made a living through the coca estates, this information will be given in the documentary.
