[Tommy rushes into Wilburs office]

Wilbur! What's going on?

[Wilbur is curled up beneath his desk, knees tucked up to his chin. He doesn’t move, but his shoulders seem less tense upon hearing Tommy’s voice.]

…Tommy?

This… This is not good, okay-

[Tommy walks over to sit next to Wilbur]

Okay, you need to try and breathe, big man. Just- in and out? Yeah do that!

[Wilbur tries to follow along with Tommy’s instructions, and slowly but surely he falls into a better rhythm]

Are you doing better now? You're not going to like- drop dead, right?

I’m- uh- I’m okay

Okay, okay. Good to know. What- uh, what happened?

It doesn’t- it [sigh] I’m fine now, it’s okay.

You sure? You don't really have a great track record with being fine. No offense.

…Tommy chat told me they told you about the Sk- them.

Oh-uh… yeah, they did. They told me what happened to you. Why- why didn't you ever say anything before?

I really don’t like talking about them, Tommy. Nobody else knew, it only made sense to keep it hidden.

I get that, but for future reference I don't think I'd like to keep hearing about your traumatic experiences through chat

I-I didn’t tell them either! They just… they just knew somehow.

They know way too much, I think I'd rather they lie and say they're clueless. Good thing we got that out of the way, though, now we have nothing else important to talk about!

Tommy. I’m gonna be honest, I don’t care about the book anymore. Chat said… they said… fuck

[Wilbur’s breathing grows more irregular.]

Ah! Don't start doing that again! I don't know how to calm people down Wilbur, just try to breathe! What did chat say?

Right- uh- sorry… just a second, please.

[Tommy nods, waiting for Wilbur to keep speaking]

They said that they were coming… for uh- for you.

…What? For- for me?

[Wilbur nods.]

I don’t know what to do. I’m sorry.

…Well… this is some great fun, I guess. I've never been kidnapped before, but I guess there's a first time for everything!

[Tommy laughs awkwardly, fiddling with his hands.]

I won’t let them take you, Tommy. They’re just trying to get to me through you.

Chat told me you made a deal or some shit so they'd leave you alone, so why are they coming back?

I must not have been clear enough with the deal or something? I don’t know.

This sucks. Zero out of ten experience, would not recommend. Maybe the skygods should just get better at listening, I don't know.

The way I see it we have two options. I let them take you… or I summon them and break the deal.

Not really a fan of either of those, to be honest. They just don't seem to have great odds for us, you know?

I’d rather risk me than have you go through that. Than know that they’re… they’re watching me Tommy. They’re always watching me.

Well I don't want you to risk yourself, I don't really like that idea. Just send me up to the gods at this point, because there's no way I'm letting you do a round two of that.

Yeah? Well I don’t want you to experience it at all. So we’re even I guess.

Guess there's no winning here. What a shame, it seems these sad little gods will just have to cope without us.

[Wilbur laughs, sad and hollow, but he laughs.]

That’s not how this works Tommy.

It is now. I'll just fight them, I don't know. If they're birds I'd say I have a pretty good chance.

I’ll see if I can figure something else out, we should have a bit of time… Can I see your right wrist?

Bit of a strange fuckin' request but okay.

[Tommy stretches out his right arm towards Wilbur]

I mean the skin Tommy, not your sleeve.

You're so needy, man.

[Tommy pulls down his sleeve and all but shoves his wrist into Wilburs face]

Here you go!

[Wilbur grabs Tommy’s wrist, and pulls it away from his face so he can actually look at it.]

The Father of Aurora

by: Aiah Nicole Robles

Gener Pineda Janapon was born on July 31, 1953 in Jaro, Ilo-Ilo. Currently living in 220 Aurora Street Brgy. Zone IV, Koronadal City, South Cotabato. His parents are Ms. Brenvenido Janapon and Mrs. Erlinda Pineda. He had five brothers and five sisters namely Polando Janapon, Gener Janapon, Nelson Janapon, Eduardo Janapon, Edgardo Janapon, Ofelia Janapon, Delia Janapon, Evelyn Janapon, Nenita Janapon and Yolanda Janapon a total of 10 siblings. Living in a harmonious life is everyone's will to live. A life where you don't have to think about what will happen tomorrow. If there will be a tomorrow and if will be part of the future.

Captain Gener isn't from a wealthy family, thus a simple one rich with love and respect. In order to sustain their daily needs, his parents strive harder and he himself also sells "balot" to provide his school expenses and allowance. Along with his siblings for no one would ever help him but him himself. He needs to strive harder molding and building a path to a better future. It doesn't matter how your sweat streams repeatedly onto your body and how tired you were to have a penny in your pocket, you have to find a way and work hard as if there will never be another day for this will be soon worth striving for." He said.

For Captain Gener, every person has its own problem but for him, everything is possible and every problem has its own solution either how big or troubled it was. As he encountered problems in life, what he just think and do is trust the Almighty Father, and so no problems vanished.

Achievements

As a loyal man to his homeland, he run for Purok President of Purok Aurora in Barangay Zone IV and luckily git elected. He promoted as federation president of 23 Purok in Koronadal City in 2002, he run for Barangay kagawad and re-elected on 2007 and 2013. He never spent money on the election for he knows how to win the heart of the citizens without the help of money or wealth but with loyalty and true respect. After his term for Barangay kagawad, he worked on city hall in Community Affairs Task Force Kaayusan member for almost 4 years. Year 2018 he run again for Barangay captain of Zone IV and so because of his courage and as well-known man with a brave heart, he win the throne and currently year 2019 he had a lot of people who trusted him with the barangay and lended his hands onto his people of Aurora. This was all happened because he has dignity and principle in life, as for Captain Gener "You need to do your very best on whatever you do without harming others."

I’m A Father

He met his wife way back when she's a teacher, someone says true love never exist but for Captain Gener, as he saw the beauty of Mes. Carmelita Janapon, he feels something strange as if he was in love in her at his first sight and so is for Mrs. Carmelita Janapon. They dated and fell inlove deeper with each other and developed a husband and wife realtionship. Their love onto each other brought to life, their two children Andrew Janapon the eldest and Janice Janapon the youngest and builds a happy God centered family. He is now contented to what he has gain with his loving family and children.

As a father, he taught his children the meaning and importance of life, to work hard and not to take advantage on people and to help those in need.

His eldest son Andrew Janapon finished his studies on 2004 and the youngest on 2005. Year 2019 his youngest Janice Janapon is in Netherlands with his fianće and started a new life with her family. Captain Janapon feels sad when Janice left them but he can't hinder nor stop his child to be with someone she loves. As far as his daughter is happy so he is, that's how he love his child.

The Aurora Community

Zone IV had 9 million pesos budget. 55% goes to the service fee/salaries of the barangay employees and officials. 10% for SK and calamity fund. 35% was for the projects life building a day care centre, canals, car fuels, and other development fees. For Captain Gener, it isn't hard to manage such money because he's use to do such thing as one of his responsibility as a captain of the barangay, sometimes he even handle large amount of money like 100 million pesos, a money intended for the barangay. Zone IV had a lot of school on its territory, like the well-known public school of Koronadal City, the KNCHS ( Koronadal National Comprehensive High School) whom by Zone IV, both schools and the barangay had a nice relationship, unlike before wherein the where gaps in between their relationship because the voters there weren't all the same side, but yet such issue as that isn't a hindrance for their undeniable connection. Once, there was an earthquake drill in KNCHS, Captain Gener attended on it and he was amazed by the population of the students both Junior and Senior High School, 11 thousand students in such school, it almost covered the field and walking like an ant for him, such a great honour he said, for a school as big this.

Though he had a lot of things to manage, this isn't gave his a tough days though, for he had a good relationship with the state holders like purok president, provincial government and the local government of the City of Koronadal, this relationship is essential for the barangay itself, so whenever will be a need to reconstruct, to build or to improve, there will always a hard that will help or reinforce it that's the case, that's why every road on Zone IV was all concrete except the one's beside Captain Gener's house, because he wanted to prioritize his people whom he loved the most second to his family, and that love for them wasn't a waste nor a regret because they all trusted him all they've got, with the important matters and with their barangay itsel, as the captain of Zone IV, these was very important to strengthen the bonds between you and your people. Feel free to help whenever they wanted and they are for you.

Bayanihan is a system present in their community, humanitarian aspect, and respect to oneself and to others. The people in Zone IV was nice, you just have to talk to them as if you're their neighbor, a good friend, an ally an a family, in that way, it'll be easy to handle them, resulting the prosperous and friendly people of Barangay Zone IV. This accomplishment bring him back the days where the life was tough as rock, he's been through a lot of obstacles on his younger days, he used to work on a rice field planting a hectare of paddy under the heat of the sun, not o mention but Captain Gener had a talent in this industry, all by himself he can finish planting a hectare of rice field and harvest about 200 meters corn field like a flash and without getting sunburns, just having a reddish, sosey like skin after the work and he himself acknowledged his uniqueness and being cute all the times as his ace for making his current wife fall in love with him with the help of declination, humbleness and of course being truly in love without condition and lies.

The Hardworking Man

As a health conscious person, Captain Gener doesn't and isn't used to work on such tough job as lifting and in construction in order to protect his health, in contrary he would rather choose to sell "balot" as an easiest job, hell just sit on the corner waiting for the customer to appoach ,buy, the'll give the money and he'll give the exchange, as simple as that and without any hard movements he gotten enough money, but if you put some patience and dedication on what you're doing, you'll earn much more than you imagine, on selling balot, Captain Gener, earned 10000 while his wife as a teacher earned 5000 on the last election (2018) for barangay captain, his opponent think of him as a simple man who just sell balot and couldn't do more than that and that he could defeat Captain Gener easily for himself as a well-known general but he didn't know that the person he take easily will defeat him without favour. Captain Gener has a characteristic his opponent doesn't have the love and fidelity for his people that keep him on his very owned position for 11 years and still counting he once said, "nothing is impossible if you just plan for it and make it happen", just like what he did on the election, he planned very well on how he could possibly defeat the opponent without hard judgements and punching him, he said thus he had trust on his peoples loyalty to him that drives him to the positive vibes and possibility of winning the battle.

Politics

There once his opponent on the election reach out every people on Zone IV while riding on his luxurious car waving the people and magniloquently let them saw a photo of himself and the Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte on his phone while Captain Gener humbly walked house to house as he used to do. Sometimes his people got worried about him walking by himself for their might be someone who'll do something unpleasant to him. So the citizens recommended him to get a body guard to be with him all the times and whenever he goes, but he refused. He smiled and said, "its fine, I'm not concerned nor worried about that because I know for sure, no one will do something bad on me and if there is, its wouldn't scare me for I am on my own barangay, every people here knows me well, respect me well and do love me, they'll protect me for sure if that will happen." As for his people and as a loyal him about what his opponent just did, but Captain Janapon humbly stood up and reveal a photo of him with his loving family together with his grandchildren, as he let them saw photo, gladness will be seen from the faces of his citizens as he have family oriented captain who love not only his own family but also his home, his barangay. All throughout his reign, he wasn't scared of being humiliated, to be attacked by other people or someone do something bad on him because he know for sure that he didn't do any wrong, this his intention was all pure and for the sake of his people on Zone IV, not unless if these were mistaken identity.

As Captain Gener continue walking house to house by himself, the Koronadal City Mayor itself got worried and said, "Cap! I get some bodyguard and I'll be the one to pay them for you." But he resisted again for he had nothing to be worried about in the first place.

The Friendly Captain

The large public school of Koronadal City. KNCHS is under the Zone IV, Captain Gener know well the assigned people there, from the guard to the principle. He comfortably walk inside KNCHS seeing how well the school that makes him very proud. Way back the time when he was still a kagawad of Zone IV, he used to order his 30 college students to paint the rizal statue near his house and as a payment, he brought them hot pandesal and arroscaldo. Dr. Pinggoy passed by there and so he saw the student painting and ask Captain Gener, how many students were there, and captain said, "Its 30" and Dr. Pinggoy gave him 1 thousand for their snacks. For Captain Gener, he might not had tons of good friends he can rely on the important thing is he had Dr. Pinggoy who always there on his side at all times.

He is proud of every doctor around every corner, because a doctor is God instrument on saving the most important aspect of man which is its life, its soul, which plays the very vital role on man, without the brain and the hands of every doctor, everything you ponder here on earth will be unworthy and useless. Once, Captain Gener grandchild had an intense fever which is very alarming, he immediately run his poor grandchild unhesitant to the nearest hospital, a tricycle driver from Zone IV saw them and offer them a fast ride to the hospital and faithfully, he's grandchild was delivered safely and take care by the doctors and nurses and so a while later, captain Gener grandchild were free and safe from fever.

He had a friend from T'boli had been actingly bleeding, the patient wanted Captain Janapon to donate his blood to save the patient's life and so without hesitation, Captain Gener took the opportunity to help and donated his blood to the poor patient it was his first time to directly transfer blood through the patient and so the patient was saved, thanks to the kind Captain Gener Janapon and of course with the help of our Almighty God above who's responsible for the miracle.

He didn't want to hear any discrimination about children because everything he do for the Zone IV is for the sake of the future of every children who'll soon grow and be a man who'll protect his town and country, like when someone don't accept the poor child to go to school because as reported, the child was dirty, Captain Gener got disappointed by the act of the teacher towards its student, so he said to the teacher" I'll terminate you, if you do it again". This stage is a child's beginning into his future so why bother to interfere them and hinder them to do so, a teacher's task is to teach them to be wise about life and on how to be a better man in the future. His wife is a retired teacher that's why he really valued education that much, if the regional board sees a poor child unable to go to school, they'll able to freely go to school and help them be active and create a dream that'll change them and mold them to be a better man.

Gener’s Warm Heart

He wanted to help those street kids to go to school and put them a descent clothes on, because a man who's capable of doing it, must take its action be responsible for taking the step unto it.

He had a daughter whom he loves the most, and a proud scholar, consistent honour, intelligent and a brave woman who didn't use its fathers position to earn what she earned currently, but an incident gave her a grade whom she doesn't deserved but just because its teacher and his father had a bit of political matter, Captain Gener's daughter got a grade of 84, a scholar. No grade below 84, a scholar. No grade below 84 is cumlaude but she insisted rather she said" it’s the father", and now, she passed five exams in Netherlands and got its licensed as a teacher of pilot and currently a principal. Everything that happens to his daughter is because his daughter have and has a will of fire to do exactly what she wants, to turn impossible into possible, but before the examination in Netherlands, his daughter left the Philippines and stayed there because she met her fiancé which is from Netherlands and so she go to reach her goal there as a professional teacher and a principal of pilot in Netherlands. Before Captain Gener's daughter left, he was very sad and disappointed to be left by his only daughter, but that doesn't matter all. The important is his daughter's happiness and success that’s brave enough to face any struggles in life that brought inspiration into her to be able to achieve its goals in life and become a successful one as she is now.

For Captain Gener, there us no other things that happens to you, only your family, because no matter bad happens to you, only tour family whom you can rely on, you can trust and you can reach on for help and once you learned how to give importance to your family, that's when you'll value things around you, because everything starts in the family. If you are a a bad person, then maybe its starts to your family and so if you are one because a family who handles well their respective members it will grow well and mold the human aspect of being a well person to be respect by others and a man with dignity and heart as Captain Gener Janapon of Zone IV Koronadal City, South Cotabato.

He's daughther married a dutch, he's daughter is a kind person. He is so proud of her, she passed all board exams, now she has its own family in other country and she leaves Captain Gener. Captain Gener is happy and delighted that she is safe there with her husband, which is the saddest part as a father, it makes Captain Gener emotional behind his own daughther but he is happy daughter as it makes her became a strong and competitive woman. And also he has he's son who also take as a teacher but his son never like it in the first place. He can say that his family is the one who make him strong and still fighting to be a leader in their barangay. Now that he had his family and his grandchildren are his only treasure, giving the Captain Gener's time as they play, and said that " papa lets go to the mall", he make sure that they go to the mall that he can also be a father to his grandchildren.

The Family Oriented Man

As a person, Captain Gener only treasures his family, because family is the one who are complete. The family need a supportive man to raise them up and as a person of what we want. In the first place, dreams starts with the family before you explore, you need to be a good person and close to your family, be open to them because family need to be a unity and solidarity to be one. If you will get married you need to ask permission first, and let your parents decide if it will be better for you because family knows what is right and wrong. When it comes to their children that's why you as son and daughter respect you as a parent because you love them and make them happy because they're the one Captain Gener have now, no one else just his family.

In the barangay he choose the person who are in young age to remind as what he did to his daughter and his children because he saw those kids as his children that's why he's happy in his profession as a Captain Zone IV. In doing his service in the barangay. He did not cheat at all; we know the reason of his victory is the people who are beside him like his neighbour, and the people who need his help. Every morning he's walking in the whole barangay to remind the people that he is running as captain and take some coffee in the houses and telling stories for the people. In their barangay he doesn't have any relatives.

Mayor Miguel gave Captain Gener to run as being a congressman, but then he refuse because he's journey as a barangay captain are just the beginning. He's services and plans is just the tiny action, he want to give his services to their barangay that needs improvement and he want to have satisfaction what the barangay needs. Some of the people underestimate Captain Gener but he proved that he is not just a person and a captain that will sit chair and will do nothing. He doesn't gavr up and surrender. In his years as a captain, people believe in him like Mayor Peter Miguel and also Dr. Pinggoy, they have the trust in Captain Gener's capabilities as a captain of their barangay.

ADVANCED DOCUMENTARY PRACTICE

BELOW IS THE TRANSCRIPTION FOR THE FEEDBACK OF OUR FILM.

Sana - “Do you guys want to start with what you think worked and didn't work with the film?” David - “I think the narration was nice, the way it was structured i think it worked well. We kind of edited the voice over and originally we had the parts in different places but structured it around the interviews. We took your advice (Sana’s) and put the reveal of the skate stoppers at the end. I think we could have dug deeper as we showed the history of skateboarding at the square but didn't show much more than that. We could have shown more about the characters and casuals that went to the place but we were limited with our archive. We didn’t really see how the people interacted with the skaters.”

Samuel - “Due to the limited archive we tried to create a visual story as close to what they (interviewees) were saying as possible because we weren’t able to show a lot of it. The main thing i take from watching it again was that the time periods they were talking about got mixed up as they mentioned “this era” a lot and it wasn’t as clear to when they were actually talking about but that was the only bad thing i felt was wrong with the documentary”.

Sana - “Yeah i don’t think it was always clear where and when we were in terms of the film. I think you did a fair amount of research. I found out a lot about bristo square that i wasn't aware of. Lots of good moments of revelation. I think my problem is the structure. I think you could have had a simpler structure and i would have liked you to reveal the demolition later in the film. It would have been more interesting if we were introduced to bristo before the demolition then set the film up to reveal the demolition. Then we find out how serious the demolition was. Having it at the start takes away the shock factor as we don't know what's at stake until we later set up how popular a space it was. For me that would have been a much better structure. To show how important a place it was to all these different cultures and communities, not just skateboarding and now we have a new space where they have actively put up skate-stoppers. That was my main problem with your film because the way it stands just now i found it confusing in places as we start here, then we go back in time and there is some jumping around. Then you have your characters, one of who we hear and one who we see, and you have your voice over. There was something about the balance of the three voices… Just correct me if i'm wrong is the one we don’t see there through the whole film or just at the start?”

Samuel - “Yeah he’s there through the whole film, he was just camera shy. I did ask him twice if we could film him but he said he was too nervous.”

Sana - “But we could of had a photograph or something to set him up?”

David - “There’s one at the end and to set him up there's text to introduce who he is”

Sana - “Yeah there is the caption”

Samuel - “Yeah because i asked him if there was any footage he could send us of him skating or even when he was younger skating but he was quite wary about doing that but the one video he did send was filmed from a helmet camera so you couldn't see his face. He only sent us one photo of himself, the one at the end with the mug”

David - “I thought about using that photo to introduce him but he starts with talking about BMXers and i needed that footage to go over what he was saying rather than a photo of him. Samuel - “When it came to the interview i explained what it would be about and he just went on a continuous talk for 12 minutes, smoking a cigarette through it all, without stopping once so it was harder to break it up in the edit and ask questions, but we got all we needed from him”

Sana - “I think the main problem that i have is i’d have really liked you to film skaters yourselves. For me the film is really interesting for what it shows, all the history, the square, the communities and the rap battles, all the stuff i wasn't expecting. Also the riots and so o. It was a very informative film but what was missing was skateboarding, somehow as filmmakers you could have captured the passion by filming some skaters. The actual experience of skateboarding is not in the film and if that had been there in sequences where you just let us watch the skateboarding and hear it, all of that would have just lifted the film and we could have emphasised with the characters and their battles with the space.”

Samuel - “We did want to do that but two of our leads fell through and when we showed up to film there was no one skating”

Sana - “ But you could have done it anywhere, not just bristo, as you can't really skate there anymore. But that was the main thing in terms of informing me of all the facts it's all there, the passion is missing, which you could have only created visually and sonicly, without words.

Holger - “Just like you Sana i didn't know anything about the history, i knew a bit about from your pitch so as a kind of social historical documentary there was a lot of interesting stuff in it, i can see all the research you have done. But again structurally you could have put more emotion into it, created a drama. I'm always looking at people skating, i want for people who are skateboarding to show why it's so important to them. For me this is a film of loss, losing a social space and a scene, and i think the structure should have incorporated this. You set it up with architectural drawings but you say we are not sure if this is a good place. You put yourself in one position as filmmakers and it comes across as a propaganda film for Bristo. So you didn't need to because you had enough footage to let the audience make the decision. I think the thing you needed to do was get the audience into what skateboarding does. You said you had the 12 minute footage of him on here, i think i would have liked to see this and see how skateboarders see and what they experience at an urban settlement, emotion. It's difficult but i would have gave it a try, from your point of view. To create a sense of loss you first have to show empathy and what there was. What it means? What’s so exciting about skateboarding? And why do people come to bristo? I feel skateboarding is synonymous for something that is lacking in big cities, you know, getting together away from anonymity. You showed it but emotionally you are at a distance. I mean you have characters but they're just contributing information, they're not ‘characters’ as such. They're the experts which means i'm far away from the. From what they i can see that they're in it and they felt the loss, the must have been really sad when it was all gone. So structurally to build it up a bit better you could show the characters skating rather than talking. Also if i look at a block with these things on it and i can understand it stops skating but i didn’t see the emotional impact of them. As a skateboarder you must see them and go “OOHH MY GOD!! THEY’VE DONE IT AGAIN!” you know this kind of emotional, i’m sure you can do it, ive been told it was sad and a loss but as a visual narrative it's not there yet. You have all the ingredients but it's not the right meal yet.”

Sana - “To go back to your opening sequence i think it was really effective with the drawings and materials, and i think it would be more powerful later in the film, once we've built up all that empathy then to see the space being demolished it would be like “What are they doing?” whereas when you see it at the beginning then you don't feel that empathy and just see a space being demolished”

Holger - “ What i like about the end is the guy saying… because you build it up to “this is really terrible what they’ve done”... for the guy to say “well actually, you can still skate it” and it's this really nice kind of… it's not black and white, you know skateboarders can work with the space and no matter what you do to the space there's this kind of hopefulness and that skateboarding spirit will never die. As much as it's about loss it's about future to.

Sana - “Another point about the end is that for me again if i was empathising with them the end would really work, it's not until you are told about the passion do you really understand that they'll skateboard anyway but you need to create that empathy.

Costas - “I really like the ending too as it could have been an anti establishment rant but it's not black and white, as you said, they're hopeful and they are able to adapt.

Sana - “It shows something about that it is anti establishment that they'll keep skating it.”

Costas - “But it shows that it's not propaganda that it's more like a calm thing. I kinda disagree, i felt there was a good build up of nostalgia and i got that very much. I think also that it would have been very attempting to go “oh i'll film my friend skating and i'll put that in it instead”. It worked just as well, especially with that shot of bristo today with Sam skating through it showing the emptiness of it. I feel that it shows the contrast that the emptiness is still there. And the skate stoppers at the end are quite shocking.

Sana - “I don't know if there's some way to film at the end where you don't identify with the figure but you can film that… the film that comes to mind is paranoid park and how they captured the sense of being on skates in a way”

Bogu - “I really liked your archive footage, i thought it was really cool definitely gave me the sense of nostalgia. I thought that was built up. Generally i thought it was very interesting as it's a place i just pass by and i've never paid attention to these things (skatestoppers) sticking out and was very interested throughout the documentary. I thought the voiceover was very good, and how huw sounded like he was a cool skater too, not that he's not a cool guy, but i felt it brought it together and i really liked it so yeah.”

Andy - “I personally was very interested and i also don't care about skating at all. I agree with costas that added skating footage wasn't needed as it would have made it like another skating youtube video for me if you used a lot of contemporary footage. I think the archive worked really well and i do understand that you could have put the demolition at the end but for this audience it wouldn't have had the same effect as we already know its been demolished but instead it becomes almost a historical film in the sense that you know what the event is and you get the backstory afterwards and i think that works.”

Naomi - “I think the beginnings really good, i like the voiceover and pictures. I would have liked music at the end as there is music all the way through.”

David - “Yeah we didn't have much time as we needed to get the export done. We did sound without adding credits so didn't have time for the music.”

Nora - “I thought rather than the build up to the demolition, which we all knew about, i thought the build up to the stoppers was really good as that's something we didn't see up until that point and i thought it was nice to have the silence with the skate stoppers.”

Bogu - “They didn't just demolish it they killed it for these guys forever.”

Jack - “I was wondering if your intentions behind the film was to convince us that the demolition was good or bad? I felt that when you gave the reasons why fit was demolished for me it kind of totally outweighed the skateboarding side and it felt justified.

Samuel - “There was a little bit we could have added if we had more time which was the fact that they opened up the square for a couple of weeks for the graduation and the skaters all came back and enjoyed skating it. Then they closed it down again and when it was reopened they had added all the skate stoppers. It was as if they were teasing the skaters with that.”
