Based on the test video, I decided to keep producing videos that decoding Korean cultural information in the squid game, but it seemed 5 videos were not enough. I selected for the film Miss Granny(2014), which was remade from 7 countries like Japan, China, Thailand, Philippines, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The purpose was to make videos of  selected scenes that are differentially expressed depending on cultures. 

However, the problem I faced was that I could not speed up making videos. To analyse the reason, first of all, the video is about 8 films which are nearly two hours long, and secondly, it is necessary to find each scene and change it to screen recording, screen capture, and transform it as portrait size. Physically, it took time consuming tasks. I watched four films of Korea, China, Japan, and India first and organised the analysis on Excel.

Also, for the accuracy of the content, I watched the Chinese version with my Chinese friends. What I found was that despite similar cultures in China, Korea, and Japan, the Confucian values such as filial piety or patriarchal system were expressed differently, and I wanted to deal with relatively heavy but valuable contents such as feminist, treatment of unmarried women, and mother-in-law issues. In particular, Japan emphasised feminism, actively reflecting Japan's culture by setting the reality that older women are pushed out by young women with the same ability and the composition of their families as the only child and divorced single mother. In addition, Confucian culture, a value that is important in Korea, began in China, but considering some scenes, it was expressed that the family hierarchical order or difference between women and men was less than in Korea. However, this was not possible to actually engage in in-depth discussions with people from 8 different countries, and it was a matter that could be customary and politically sensitive depending on the country. So I had to change the subject lightly.  As Greg advised me about  Excel, I filled it by watching remade films of the remaining 4 countries on the y-axis, compared and analysed it, and finally found that the 5 scenes were culturally different.

However, the problem did not end here, and I had a hard time casting. I had to gather people from 8 countries, and I found  Yea-jin, Sue from Korea, Kisha from the Philippines, Sanjana from India, and Tiffany, who has a grandmother who is Japanese. I still had to contact everyone else to cast them. I put flyers on the board in front of the library and looked for people. I contacted Vietnamese and Indonesian groups through social media. For 2-3 weeks, I had to spend time continuously recruiting, explaining, and arranging schedules. The person who watched this movie while not having a camera shy was on the top list first. I found Benyada from Thailand, and I even visited two LCF campuses to find Indonesian Calista, and Vietnamese Irina, and Tako from China (because all the people on the course were busy!!!!) Thankfully, I received a lot of help in all this process.

In addition to casting, if they did not watch the movie (because everyone was in the submission week) and did not have enough time to watch it, I made short clips of each version of the film. But all of this actually changed to working alone on the team, but I didn not feel much difference in that.

Fortunately, I was advised by John to continue filming during the tutorial session on the 4th. (Now, Timeline is mixed up everything) Wan explained it should be complementary, like a circle, when I upload videos then receive feedback, and it should be uploaded again based on what they want. Through this advice, at the end of the video with "How about you?" and asked them to write comments. I received a slightly different feedback from Mor. It would be better to develop a practical part where the video can be seen. For example, even though there was good feedback such as creating an online platform to upload videos or adding new functions to make it easier to exchange opinions, I had to slightly postpone it for a while because I was worried about time. Greg suggested watching a film The Five Obstructions (2003), which begins with Las von Triérés suggesting that "Perfect Human" be reborn as a modern version, but each time puts different constraints, and then they catch up the process of viewing and discussing. However, I really didn't have time!
