Let's talk- from Rebecca

Hi Everyone,
I had a couple of very interesting conversations last week with the two different partners. I'm really glad that the teams have shared their interpretations of "A Day in the Life" and their scene descriptions.
There are some questions now. How are we going to put this all together into one creative product? There has been some suprise at how much more metaphorical and narrative the Louisiana team's interpretation of the scenes is.
I would like for the two teams of kids to start talking about how to make this "ours" instead of "theirs" and "ours". So instead of posting something on the web and then walking away, I think it is important to have a back-and-forth dialog discussing how to put everything together.
I'm recommending three skypes in the coming three weeks. The first I'd like you to talk about how to make the narrative make sense. The second about the soundtrack, and the third on why you chose to feature certain things in your scenes. Why was it important to the Italians to show playing with a sibling in the first scene? Why was it important for the Louisianans to show Louisiana woods? This is where the cultural exchange will happen.
So, I was hoping that the first scenes would be e-mailed to each other before Thursday, and I think that the kids need to plan on meeting by skype on the next three Thursdays- as many kids as can be there.
Hope that is okay with everyone! After these meetings we will have enough information to write the Digistar script.
My best to everyone,
Rebecca
