It is good news that I get a direction about my final project, Chinese Kung fu!
I discussed my idea with some of my friends, Tony Wang, and Tony Xu, and we decide to work as a group to finish our documentary. We also discussed what kind of Kung fu documentary we want to film, should we make a documentary like a kind of Kung fu film? That is means we need read a script for it, but that will also make it more like a drama. After about 3 hours discussing, we finally decided to film some story about those people who learn Kung fu in a professional Kung fu school, and film those people’s story. As this idea now we start to find a professional Kung fu school that will allow us to film them!
As I said before, the soul of a documentary is the audiences, so we need carefully decide what we will show to them through our camera. We need to make up a SURVEY as soon as possible, we ask all of our friends to make up questions like these:
1, Do you know Bruce Lee? Do you know what he can do?
2, Do you think most of Chinese people know how to play Kung fu?
3, What do you think Kung fu exactly is? Fighting skills? Arts? Or something else?
4, If we make a documentary about those people who learn Kung fu in China, will you enjoy to watch?
5, Which style of Kung fu do you think is the best? Jackie Chan’s free boxing? Jet Lee’s shourinken? Or Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do?
6, Why they learn Kung fu for a whole life time? What is the propose of it?
I just clean up those question above this time, and I think we still need to archive those quotations, in order to find out what is the audiences’ like through this research.
Figure1, Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do
Figure2, Jackie Chan’s free boxing
Figure3. Jet Lee’s shourinken
