Leokage Productions

I first watch this before I did any sort of filming just to give me a general idea to decide how I want my film to be conveyed to a wide audience and I found it difficult to pick because of the topics I wanted to discuss, nonetheless it is essential to anticipate how should I direct my own documentary film.

Another basic principle to go by any means is to prepare before and after filming at an event which I struggle to do because for me I had nobody to help me with my documentary film project on the early stages in January 1st 2013, even asking the elders at one point it was possible to meet another film maker who could potentially help me on this project and gather people who are British born Chinese to be interviewed but at a price of £200 to study mandarin Chinese for term 1 at their international language institute which I found risky to do at that time.

So it'll explain why I was all over the place with my projects as I continue to look up ways to improve my chances to make this into a successful documentary film and so I looked up certain events which can be seen on my previous blog posts that I came to these events not organise enough to meet these filming stages. Every now and then I e-mail the organisers of those events to get permission which worked out to my favour but when it got down to interviewing people I couldn't express myself why I eagerly as planned as I set out to do. Another thing to reflect on during my travels is that I also find some topics to discuss about even at some point I went to attend to a mah jong event but I was not allowed to film inside a casino to talk thoroughly with the groups I took part in.  

At this stage, it felt like all the research of these British Chinese Society events that I attended to seem all rather pointless as I didn't get any decent footage out of it at the same time enjoy the activity occurred as I wanted naturally. Furthermore, I went to these events feeling uncomfortable but not all of them, only one event that went particularly well if it had not been a fellow student Paul assisting as well down at south bank centre, Royal festival hall: chocolate tasting event which can be refer to in my previous blog entries.
