25. June 1 & 4
Monday, June 1st
Today was the beginning of my work with my new film group: Chris, Benny Marcus and Kevin. As I am new to the group, we had to have a discussion about what theme we are going to explore, etc. I also have limited say in what goes on in the documentary since they had already made most of the decisions. They had already filmed a few minutes of footage during my absence; unfortunately I was not present when they took the footage, so all I could do now was edit what they already had. They only had about three minutes worth of footage, so there was not much to do. We all decided on what footage we wanted to keep together, then cut out the rest. Benny and I then edited the rest of the footage, while Marcus Chris and Kevin made some kind of plan for the completion of the documentary. Benny and I edited the colors of the pan of Tsim Sha Tsui harbor to make the sky look bluer. We did not get much done after that because we had to go downstairs to choose our arts for next year. A lot of time was wasted this class because we lacked concentration and our discussion of film got very off topic.

Today was a bit frustrating as some people in our group still won't take our project seriously, even though it is due in less than two weeks; another lesson wasted. However, we now have a firm plan of what we are going to do over the weekend. We are splitting up into two small groups so we can get more done: Marcus, Chris and Kevin in one group, and Benny and I in the other. Benny and I are going to Yau Ma Tei on Saturday, and will be in charge of interviewing a street cleaner on her job, and we thought up questions in class. However, we don't know when we will see a street cleaner, and if he/she will be willing to be interviewed, so that may be a problem. The questions also have to be translated into Cantonese by Benny. Chris, Marcus and Kevin planned the other shots. We have not had a chance to discuss what we planned in class yet, so I don't know where Chris, Marcus and Kevin are going. They will assign us other parts to film as well, because the interview does not take a lot of time, and I actually have not contributed much to the group at this point yet.
