June 4th

Today was a very frustrating day, as some people in our group still won't take our project seriously. We now have a firm plan of what we are going to do over the weekend. We have spent the first part of the class deciding on what we are going to do in the weekends when we film in causeway bay. In the end, we have decided to split up into two groups in a 3 and 2 so we can get more done: myself, Chris and Kevin in one group, and Benny and Charis in the other group to film on the kowloon side and to do the interview. Benny and Charis are going to Yau Ma Tei on Saturday, and will be in charge of interviewing a street cleaner. After the interview, and answers and the questions asked have to be translated to cantonese so that the interviewee would understand. My group 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.

Today was the beginning of my work with my new film group: Chris, Benny Marcus and Kevin. We have started to discuss the different topics that we are going to explore in this project. a discussion about what theme we are going to explore in this project. We decided to explore the theme of littering in Hong Kong and to do this we had to research on what the government was doing about this. So we went on several websites to find out more about the policies of littering in Hong Kong. We have also discussed several topics such as air pollution, light pollution, and sound pollution before deciding on this topic. As we feel strongly about littering issues in Hong Kong, we have came to decide to do the littering topic.

The Seventh Class

Today, we watched the Michael Moore presentations created by people in our class. I was slightly upset by the fact that so many chose Fahrenheit 9/11, as I have prepared a presentation on that documentary as well. I have chosen this film to present because I think it is interesting how Michael Moore shows Bush's personal life on a documentary. However, I was impressed with Joanna's presentation because she had actually taken the time to research on the facts presented in Fahrenheit 9/11 which had been very impressive as no one else did.
