After about 10 hours of work (meeting, understanding the intention, etc.) I felt the dread of having to use the footage. Expressed this concern to Simon and got the feedback: don't do it if you believe the film is not in the rush. I communicated this to Beatriz, but I said the approach we could take  would not use the visuals. The interview that struck me the most could serve as the basis of this project. Beatriz agreed that the project should be in whatever form that could convey the feelings of those women.

The film for April 10 will be 3.5 minutes long. More work to come for the final film.
Showed captions without recorded footage to Cem and got some feedback about the story. (Heavy on sexual harassment, not so much on the real sense of insecurity from these experiences).

Why I am doing this

I want to try out a more formal yet still honest way of collaboration.

After about 10 hours of work (meeting, understanding the intention, etc.) I felt the dread of having to use the footage. Expressed this concern to Simon and got the feedback: don't do it if you believe the film is not in the rushes.

UPDATE 2

The film for April 10 will be 3.5 minutes long. More work to come for the final film.

Showed captions without recorded footage to Cem and got some feedback about the story. (Heavy on sexual harassment, not so much on the real sense of insecurity from these experiences).

Experimented with fixed-frame footage of streets and one walking footage... Something is off, but I cannot pin it down yet.

- Beatriz translates

- Jue captions (treats voices as sounds, preserves the emotions)

to-do on my side
