There is no subject so old that something new cannot be said about it - Fyodor Dostoevsky





Pitching and developing idea for short documentary exercise 

A life in the Day of a Hasmok Mehta


To come up with a good idea is hard enough but presenting it to others is even more harder. Pitching is a task of bringing an idea of something and make it real. Showing good performance in the pitch requires detailed preparation and inspiration. To do so you need to be creative, present evidence and interest of the subject. The pitch demands to be confident. Whole team put effort to research various methods to achieve the best film results.

In this project Hasmok Mehta is a visual impaired person but carefully illustrating his senses. Moreover, the idea developing of this particular subjects is very sensitive, it needs to be learnt how to get it around next to the person who is blind. In this experience I understand that "a job must be done", for example filming visual impaired person from long distance and in the same time you see how the main actor is losing sense in the location, as a human you want to help him and show right direction but at the same time you must get that shot. 

"Think small, local and short. Developing your skills on fragments allows you to inquire in-depth and avoids the discouragement that come from overload." M. Rabiger
