2nd day report: sea writing
At 9 o'clock this morning we met Abdulla, Sultan, Kaled, Basel and Ahmad. We presented Za's dreams project with its subjects:
Time, Love, War, Sea, Religion and the Other.
We told them there are three different way in which we can make a Za's dream: by telling ("say-dream"), by doing ("do-dreams), and by kissing ("kiss-dream").
We started with a brainstorming about Time and Sea. After that we focalized on Sea , and two really nice
ideas came up. This is the first one:
The theme is:
" THE SEA \ TO TELL"
Interviews in Biddu.
The question is "what does the sea means to you?"
We decided to use two\ three location:
. children in the street
. old men in the barber shop
. guys at the university (in Birzeit, if it'll be possible)
In the barber shop Basel is going to prepare people of the shop before the shooting. We will be showing people and the activity going on in the shop.
Also the children will be shooting in wide angle while they are playing.
At the university we will not prepare students to the interview and we will use close up.
Our aim is to make lots of very short interviews.
The second idea about the sea is a very funny fiction that we will developing on Tuesday. It is a story of a group of friend that decide to go to the sea. They get ready, someone will be fishing, someone playing
and some other just taking tan, but all around a little bucket! We will work on it!
In the end of the day we did a photography workshop (framing for interviews) and a montage one.
Take care

ciao, ciao!

It sounds all very good!
Just a curisity and a question: why did you choose children, barbers and students for speaking about Sea? Is there a specific link between these cathegories and the sea? Otherwise, in case it is just sample of human diversity, why don't you make it even wider (eg adding houskeepers, taxidrivers etc)?
As for the second idea, i do love it! looking forward to reeding more on it...
ciao

dear alberto
first of all we would like to thank you for the words you spent on the ideas.
concerning the dream of the sea/tell, we want to answer you
there is two reasons for chosing the categories of people to interview
1 simplicity
it is a short short film (we need to do max 3') so we don't want too many different characters.
Also, University, barber shop and street for childrens are easy places to film for use, because we have relationship.
Housekeeper at home, for example, will be much more difficult
2 relationship with the sea
childrens havo no idea of what is the sea because they never see it.
youngsters in university can understand the sea is symbol, and anyhow know where the sea is and why they can't go here
for old people the sea is memory and stories, because maybe they lived by it
that is what we're intereted at.
We don't care on what a taxidriver think about the sea as a taxidriver.
we don't want a film about gender or work differences but about age difference about the sea.
for what about the fiction, we're working on it, now we go to see and picture the location, tonight we will tell all you all about it
