A documentary about Joninės TU/e course DCB170 - Socio-cultural sensitivity (graded 8.3/10)
Our second assignment had us diving into another culture. Within a week, our group (Iris Berden, Quinta Bonekamp, Emma Driesse and I) realized a short documentary on Joninės, a Lithuanian mid-summer celebration. We invited Emilia to tell us more about the tradition and show us how to make the flower crown that is one of the symbols of Joninės. We also filmed additional shots outdoors, picking flowers and setting the crown afloat, to give a clearer image of the things talked about. Since we filmed this almost mid-winter, it was quite a challenge to create a warm, sunny atmosphere for the video. I think we succeeded though, and I really like the outcome.
