CHALLENGES
It was ironic making a project about foreigners in Korea when I felt like one myself. The documentary class tasked students to create a film in only four weeks. A major challenge was taking on multiple roles since one crew member was suddenly sick with Covid. This required me to step in as both a camera and sound operator. Since the interview subjects could not be prepped before due to time limits, it was also stressful think about whether quality material would be captured.
SOLUTIONS
Stepping outside of my comfort zone was the biggest solution towards solving these issues in a timely manner. I had to educate myself on components of production that I may not have been familiar with initially. I also made sure to prepare well with my partner before the interviews so that quality conversations could be prompted. Finally, we made an effort to collaborate on editing and seeks advice from our professor to create a cohesive and inspiring body of work.

Aspiration Quote
When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.
