     It was nice to meet an Irish Filmmaker-Donal Foreman, who shared his note of filmmaking, and the legacy of his father gave him. Through his words, I had learned the footages and background stories of this film which is a special complexity period happened in Northern Ireland. The scenes are intense and impactful, like announcement of a group of men with armed stood on the stage in dance pool, training of local armed men in wild and British army stood on the street. Also, the scenes about his father Arthur MacCaig are interesting, especially the two shots for the train that film by father and son but different time period, which makes the connection between father and son stronger. He also showed his note about this film, he would submit the proposal for the film first, then write down every idea has in his head and create a summary, from his note, even there were tons of mess and confusion, but I saw he were highlighted the important, and line those up. On the other note about filmmaking process, he was planned to surround his father shots with few his shots, after the discussion (simplified the work), it became one surround one. at the end, he talked about how the slight twist that make film interesting. It was a nice talks.
