Forbidden Planet Musical - Planning for Visual content

http://richwareham.blogspot.com/

I have decided to contribute towards the making of the Return to the Forbidden Planet by creating a TV sequence that is going to be shown during the live performance of the Musical.This is a great chance to experience what it is like working in a professional environment with added pressure to deliver what the client wants.

The first thing my group to do is get hold of Matt Finch, who is organising the musical to be shown at the Egg at the end of January next year (2010). We need to discuss with him in detail what Visual contents he wants and what type of effects, shots, content etc he is looking to include in the live performance.

I have a few ideas in my head as to what to include in the short film because I have watched the trailer for the original film which the musical is based on Forbidden Planet. I also watched a short video of the original musical which this production is basing itself on.

I think that I have a huge challenge ahead when it comes to converting my ideas into a moving image piece.

One thing that I got from the original film trailer was how cheesy it looked. I should imagine that it was expected to be that way because it was one of the first Sci-Fi films to come out in the cinema.

Next week, we will have had a meeting with Matt to get a much clearer understanding of what kind of visual content he is hoping to include in the live show.

I have provided a RSS feed/link the New Line Theatre 2008-2009 Musical Production of Return To The Forbidden Planet. I am currently getting ideas from the web page in terms of what the musical is about and how big the musical adaptation is of the film which is based on Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'.
