East Timor (Asylum seekers)

This video presentation is quite short, which I used to present my idea of the documentary film in the class. this short video can be confusing without any explanation. Well, this short video only contain soundtrack and a photo montage of crisis in East Timor in 1999 and also photo montage of asylum seekers.

The relationship of this video and my project is quite strong, because my project is about a man who save the life of Timorese refugees and Asylum seekers during the Indonesian occupation.

I hope that this short video will give you a clue about the documentary film that I am going to make.

This exercise was also done in the second class of week six, this film is the shortest film that I have ever made. I didn’t have any difficulties in editing this film. even though this film is extremely short, but the meaning behind the script of this film is quite strong for me, the script contain the element of conflict and passion.

This film was shooting during the second class of week six. the storyline of this short film, was inspired by that film that we watched in the class and we were also given a script. After we received the script we just follow the instruction on the script. I would like to thank Ali, because he did most of the shooting and also directing. furthermore, this exercise is quite fun and useful for me, specially it prepares me for the upcoming project.
