What inspired your subject matter?
This
trip and local encounter has had a huge effect on the way i see the
world and live my life. When i heard about this competition i
considered other topics, but because this is so personal and
important to me, it was the clear choice of subject matter for the
theme.
-
How did you plan your piece?
Firstly,
i identified if the story fit the theme. I then wrote the main stages
of the narrative (intro, background, middle, conclusion). I then
collated all the visuals/sound that would match the story's content
and be as engaging as possible. I spent a lot of time researching and
filming footage from the internet. I wrote then the voiceover and
practiced it many times.
-
What challenges did you face?
I
found out about this competition 9 days ago. So, I've (happily)
worked nonstop on this in my free time since then. Making a short
film in retrospect isn't easy, as you have to improvise and make do
and with what footage you have. Unfortunately, I only have a small digital camera, so i
would have loved to have done this with better quality.
-
What is your ambition as a documentary maker?
I
am passionate about communicating stories that matter; stories
with the potential to inspire, educate, entertain and maybe even provoke personal change in other people's lives. I plan to continue
making documentaries about people, places and events that i feel
offer this potential.
