Organising: Text Messages
For one of my film ideas I wanted to film footage so that I could edit to the song 'Beautiful People' by Chris Brown. By organising a time and day with the dancer I wanted to film with, I was able to easily construct a plan for both of us that would work successfully.
Hey Claud, it's Daniel, hope you're well.
The week of the 24th is fine with me.
You're the director, so I'll do my best to help you complete your vision. I'll do some choreographed movement linked with some freestyle aswell.
Daniel
Hey Dan, I'm not too bad a little stressed about mocks as they're the ones going on future applications and my ballet exam, but hopefully everything will go well
I'll message you again closer to the time and I'm so glad you're up for it and all ready onto it, Claud
Hey Dan time flies! Next week is the one we were looking at and I have some times and dates for you for when I'm free: Monday 9-3, Tuesday 2-6 pm, Thursday and Friday (any time) - Let me know what works best for you! For the day, wear what you normally would when teaching a class I'm not fussed.
Let me know your thoughts on venues (nothing too mirror covered if an idea is at Bannatyne's as I'll be seen in the reflection) thanks, Claud
Hey dan I don't know if you've replied because a text hasn't come through (?). Mum said you were free on Thursday can you give me more info please, thanks, Claud
Hey Claud! Sorry i thought I replied! But yes time does fly! Thursday is the best day for me, hope that's ok for you. In terms of venue, what would be your ideal environment?
Daniel
Hey dan so I've had another epiphany, if you can get to mine by 11 and we can go to the Lucy Placket in Adderbury, by the church and library. In the field there's a basket ball court which is a modern design with a solid floor (everything ideal for you dancing). It's going to supposedly start raining by 12 so we'll work quickly.
That sounds like a good idea Claud! I have a grey ford. I will see you at yours for 11! Any desires you have for outfit?
Just all black, sports/dance/fashionable clothing, your own interpretation is absolutely fine. My mate millie does media at College (me at sixthform) and her camera creates a different affect to mine, I've gotten her to help me film which could mean we wrap up quicker, is it possible to have one more passenger in your car for the few mins drive to Lucy Placket? She'll arrive at my house before you so don't need to worry about picking anyone up from random places, see you soon
Within these text messages I have managed to easily manage a time and place with the dancer and choreographer Dan to enable us to meet so that I can collect footage for my coursework (used in ideas two and three). By being organised and precise about times and meeting places it enabled myself, Millie and Dan to get together and have everything we needed to film.
The first time I messaged Dan was at the end of May, giving him the date and week I intended on filming a couple of months previously so that he could keep the week free. When it came closer to the week I intended to film with Dan I contacted him again proposing that the week I had planned to film with him was the first week of my summer holiday so I was malleable to work around Dans dates and times that would fall within that week.
