During the documentary planning stages, I have been researching examples of editing and other ideas, and found that this short is again relevant to our project.
Taking place in an independent shop and focussing on a shop owner's passion is a theme shared in common between our documentary and Bloom's; the simple and contained approach centring around one location allows for a large amount of coverage and safety in the edit, a great strength of our idea. The way in which Bloom transitions between a light-hearted look at the business of a vintage camera shop owner, and the sad elements underpinning parts of his life, is one which I hope we can emulate during our documentary.
Implementing a classic 3-act structure into our film will provide perhaps the strongest emotional response from the viewer, and so it will be important for us to become familiar enough during the two shooting days with the skate shop owner to delve into his personal life as well as professional.
The cinematography Bloom employs is inspirational through its focus on the subject within his environment, using a wider shot for the main interview that purposefully places him as a small part of the frame along with the cameras he so loves.
In terms of post-production, Booths and Bodies also stands as a strong example of the potential for colour grading from a DSLR-type camera system. I will definitely utilise tools such as Apple Color, or even simply Magic Bullet Looks, in enhancing our raw images.
