Group One #1

This week, we brainstormed in class what we wanted to focus on for our final film, and have been communicating outside of class about roles, our film, and our plan for our group going forward. In class, those of us that were in person liked the idea of a film that blends personal memories of home with the plant life that is native to / familiar in our homes. We discussed this later all together with our other group member, who is abroad, and brought up the possibility of including the difference in seasons and plant life between The States and Czechia as a point of our film. We haven't yet finalized all of our roles, but we're planning to do that in the next class, as well as come up with a more solid plan for our film going forward.

Group Two #3

This week we got quite busy working on the rough cut of our film. We worked out a way around our different schedules and different time zones and planned out the technicalities, then went out to film details in urban design of Chicago and Brno that seem hostile or uninviting. Going location scouting and filming, we explored how we felt in those areas, which brought us one step closer to our theme. The rough cut left us all excited and motivated, as it reflected nicely the direction we wanted to move in. Looking forward, we will now be discussing the cut and how we want to polish it, and applying the feedback we will soon receive in class. After settling on the next steps, we will plan them out, from now on also counting in the change in daylight savings in the US. This proccess should take us to the final edit, presented in next week’s class.

Group Five #3

This week has been our most productive so far, as our team finalized the plans for the film and began the production process. Seeing our concept transformed into tangible footage has been particularly exciting. While the filming process inevitably brings out unexpected ideas, our footage overall represents our individual struggles to find belonging within a world of constant travel and movement. One concept that has also emerged since we began production is how physical differences in our footage, whether shaped by the weather on the day of filming, the type of camera used, or each person’s individual style, highlight the ways we each experience belonging differently. Because our audio consists of a conversation among the four of us, it has been especially interesting to see how our visual shots also begin to form a kind of dialogue with one another. Similarly, the TED Talk on vulnerability raised an interesting point in terms of our project concept. As Brene Brown discusses, when peo...
