This week, I worked with Kirin on our most recent independent film project. This time, we were instructed to film and edit a 90-second video about what it is like living in our community. Kirin and I filmed in Downtown Silver Spring, getting shots of places to shop, people walking, and many people describing what they think Silver Spring is like.
The process was slightly arduous, because Kirin and I had previously filmed another video of the sun rising, but Mr. Mayo wanted us to film a second one. We were only able to film on Saturday evening, and then edit on Sunday. It was really enjoyable but cold filming. I found that approaching people to be interviewed is slightly daunting, and getting them to agree was difficult. Many people didn't want to be on camera, and we actually found a lot of people who were only visiting Silver Spring and didn't feel they could describe it.
All in all, I'n proud of my video and grateful for Kirin's work and I hope you enjoy it!
