We are closer to the end. Mid term is next friday and the following deliverables are required:1. Treatment: 1-3 Page document (illustrated or not) describing your project. It is written in prose and in present tense.
2. Screenplay: 10-15 page document (in screenplay format) that IS your project before it is shot. It can be written in a number of ways, this will be discussed further.
3. Characterization and Location Document: document where all the characters and locations (sometimes locations are characters) are described, cast, outlined, illustrated, photographed.
4. Visual Abstract: Diagrams (2D, 3D, Space-based and time-based), Maps, Still Photography, Storyboards analyzing and describing relationships and qualities of the project. This is the basis of the aesthetic aspect of your project.
5. Proof of Concept: Short schematic film excerpt/s (10 seconds) that show the dynamic of the project, visual effects tests if any, camera work basis, editorial direction, costuming, coloring, post production aesthetic, etc.
I have started on my characterization and location document.I have an actress for the Main role. I am looking for others. I have all the roofs that I need now.
And I am only going to use 4th street ramp and the 4th street bridge so there is some slide that these events happen.
Thinking about the rooftops and other places: After seminar with Ed Keller, I realized what was missing....
What is the agency of the roof tops? Im going to go and work this out and have it ready for you by tomorrow.

nina - I like aya's suggestion (and yours) that you shoot a small section of the project. The question is which one - and how many vectors travel through it. And how do you deal with its own plot (or sub-plot).
I think the Gondry/Bismuth method as an exterior would be a fanstastic thing to try, but I wonder how well it could work.
On the other hand you could take the idea of seeing everything and nothing at the same time and apply it to a different setup.
