EEA Shooting Production

As part of a group production shoot, where the storyboard was sourced from Everything Everywhere All at Once, I held dual responsibilities. I contributed to lighting setup and was in charge of sound, specifically ensuring high-quality recording and balanced audio levels.

2. Editing Process

In this trailer, I first focused on creating the trailer's storyboard which as follows :

Part 1: The Initial Spark/Connection

1. SHOT 4 (MS, W leads E while E hesitates):  Start with them together, E hesitating, but W is leading. This establishes their initial bond or interaction. 

Visual note: Focus on their proximity, even if E is hesitant.

Sound: A gentle, slightly melancholic musical note.

2. SHOT 4 (MS, W holds E's face and looks into her eyes):  This is the most intimate moment in the storyboard. Hold on this for a beat.

Dialogue: Fade in W's line: "You were incredible."  (from Shot 4) as a voiceover. This makes the connection feel significant.

Sound: Music swells slightly, then a subtle, almost imperceptible glitch sound effect, hinting at disruption.

TEXT PLACEMENT 1: After W says "You were incredible," as the glitch sound happens.

Text: "WHAT IF..."

Rationale: This immediately poses a question about the preceding moment, hinting that this connection might be fragile or not what it seems.

Part 2: The Disruption/Chaos (The "Forgetting" Event)

SHOT 3 (Tight M.S., W elbows the guard and whips his pouch bag):  JARRING CUT. Hard, sudden sound effect for the punch. "Ouch!" from the guard  (Shot 3). This is the explosion of chaos that causes the "forgetting."

Sound: Music cuts out briefly, replaced by aggressive, disorienting sound effects.

SHOT 1 (CU to MS, W head snaps back, and back to conscious):  Quick cut after the punch. This implies disorientation and a reset, crucial for the "forgetting" concept.

Sound: Disorienting, high-pitched ringing or a whoosh.

TEXT PLACEMENT 2: Immediately after Shot 1 (W snaps to consciousness), on a black screen or quickly over the next shot.

Text: "...IT WAS GONE?"

Rationale: This answers the "WHAT IF..." question, directly hitting at the loss of memory or connection.
