Develop from Project That May or May Not Be Made (Y1)
WHAT?
A short film called ‘To My Motherland‘ (working title) explores Thailand’s deep-rooted superstitions and rituals. Blending documentary and fiction, the narrative reveals ritual performances that shed light on issues of social inequality, capitalism, and sexism.
HOW?
I will take full charge of all pre-production and post-production processes; meaning I will do research, write the fictional script, edit, and color-grading by myself. However, in the production process, I plan to collaborate with my fellow performers. Even though I plan to be the director of photography for the project, I will need some assistance in shooting in a site-specific location.
WORKFLOW
Firstly, gathering and researching Thailand’s deep-rooted superstitions and rituals. Then, I will select beliefs that reflect on social inequality, capitalism, and sexism issues. I plan to write a fictional script based on the selected beliefs. In the editing process, I will find the archive footage related to those beliefs and edit it with the footage I shot.
TIMETABLE
September - October 2023 — Research and Finalise the beliefs that reflect on social inequality, capitalism, and sexism issues. October 2023 — Writing the fictional script, finding performers to collaborate with, and shooting. November 2023 — December 2023 Shooting and Editing. January - March 2024 — Editing and sound mixing. (Shooting more if needed) March - April 2024 —Color-grading. And fixing according to the feedback. May - July 2024 — Feedback and Fixing.
PREVIOUS PRACTICE
‘To My Motherland‘ will be presented as a hybrid of documentary and fiction which is similar to my previous mockumentary film titled ‘The Holy Sponge’. Both films speak about the deep-rooted beliefs/cliché stories in Thailand. I will mainly focus on using a sarcastic voice narration as well as explore the spiritual connection to my motherland.
CHOICE MADE
In this MA, I have chosen to create work based on political issues and focus on ironic and fictional narration. Simultaneously, I continue to find different ways/structures to create work.
RAPID PROTOTYPES
- Pick a (Thai) superstitious belief/ritual and reproduce/(re)perform it.
- Write down your reflection when performing that ritual.
