After having one shooting segment with Yanni, I am still curious about who he is, both as a filmmaker, artist and as a person. Due to the development and trust with Yanni, the group has decided that when interviewing him, it is best to do it two on two, for the sake of the character not to change behavior.
Haven not met Yanni but being part of the production process, I cant wait to be able to see the creativity and the quirkiness, the character and the relationship with his brother. For sound designing, I think in this research after meeting them both, the suggestions I have for abstract background music and atmos might be slightly different and also more concise. It would be like being an audience and if there are moments where he, the character doesn’t speak, these could be moments where silence will speak, mixed with background atmos. We have gathered some material, but these were without good sound, which needs to be worked on and developed. I think this will only progress as we go on and build up the relationship with Yanni and also by observing him as an audience. The ‘Brunswick artist’ may appear different the second time we film him than the first time and here we can play around with this Melbourne character. Yanni as a filmmaker and being into documentary will also afflict us abit, as he has more knowledge of filmmaking and his consciousness to editing techniques and creating a narrative can impact on the process of the production. It will be interesting to see how he feels about making a docu about himself and how he will take to not being behind the camera and in charge of his own image. Here we will explore the truth and the reality by capturing this character.
