Group Three #4

During this week, we worked on the final touches of our film. We added more visual footage and effects and the recordings from our interviews. What we found fascinating was the differences in how we went on about the interviews –in terms of wether it was in person or by phone, or how formal the setting and our family member was. Not only did it add diversity to our film, the latter also made us realise the differences - cultural or not – in how our families spoke and acted to express themselves in a way the felt most comfortable - or at home - to talk about the topic of belonging and home.

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.

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...
