THE DEVIL SUGGESTS
Make a short documentary about somewhere local
Tell the story of a place nearby that people pass without thinking about it. A clear question, a few good voices and ordinary observations will carry more weight than cinematic equipment.
Do it
- Pick one place and a question worth exploring.
- Research its background from local sources.
- Make a short shot list and arrange any interviews.
- Film atmosphere, details and people who have agreed to take part.
- Edit a concise version with a beginning, middle and end.
What next?
Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
