Today we met up at Rochester Library to go over ideas
for writing our treatment. We watched a video off YouTube which explained what
we can put in our treatment and how we can write one. It was quite helpful to
watch and gave us a few ideas. We also discussed how Vittorio and I had met one
of our contributors Steve Manuel (the apprentice master) the previous day when
we went on a field trip to Canterbury Cathedral to create a short documentary
on the stained glass and stonemasonry conservations. We talked about what he
was like and how he was informative with anything we wanted to know. Steve was also
very helpful when we began filming at the stonemason workshop room as he said
if there are any shots you need just let me know. Throughout the meeting we
talked about who we wanted our main contributors to be and decided we would
have Steve introducing himself first, and then follow on to the apprentice
Marella. We then decided we wanted to have some interesting shots of what they
get up to at lunch or after work so we could cut to that during the middle of
our documentary to show that people at the Cathedral aren’t stereotypically ‘boring’
people that don’t have fun too. We also want to feature another apprentice Jake
in our documentary as he is currently also following the CWF (Cathedral Workshop Fellowship), and is one of the youngest apprentices. The CWF this is a course which the apprentice take over a few years and develop into a degree course, they learn about skills needed to be an apprentice and also have to study the theory behind stone masonry - they get hands on experience and are privileged to work with professionals whom have been in the busy for years - 30 years to be exact! Another main contributor we want
to include is Darren whom works in the drawing board room and on the
scaffolding taking measurements and he also works closely with Jake which we
thought would be interesting. In conclusion the meeting today was very
successful and we all agreed on what we wanted to do.
