Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.46,0:00:02.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,KEVIN MACDONALD: Hi, my name's Kevin Macdonald.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.75,0:00:06.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm making a film called 'Life in a Day'.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.52,0:00:10.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I want to do is to make a film, unlike any film, I think, that's ever been made before,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.65,0:00:16.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is to ask thousands of people, everywhere in the world, on a single day, which is the
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.22,0:00:17.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,24th of July this year.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.78,0:00:23.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To film some aspect of their day and then post that material onto You Tube so that we
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.94,0:00:28.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can use it to make a film that is a record of what it's like to be alive on that one
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.08,0:00:32.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,day. It'll be kind of like a time capsule, which people in the future, maybe in twenty,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.28,0:00:36.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thirty, forty, fifty, a hundred, two hundred years, could look at that and say, 'oh my
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.78,0:00:39.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,God, that's what it was like.' A portrait of the world in a day.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.10,0:00:44.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You just need to go ahead, take your camera, hopefully something reasonably good quality,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.82,0:00:49.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go and film something. It could be something that to you seems really banal. It could be
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.33,0:00:53.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your journey to work, watching your baby at bath time, going to the hospital to visit a
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.78,0:00:57.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,friend, your birthday, going for a walk in the countryside. Or it could be something
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.17,0:01:01.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,much more meaningful to you, much more emotional. They're knocking down the building next to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.86,0:01:05.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where you live that you've always loved. The death of a friend. It's a little snapshot
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.63,0:01:08.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of, of your life. Who knows? The 24th of July might be the day that you're getting married,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.71,0:01:11.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if it is, I'd love you to film it and send the footage to me.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.33,0:01:17.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'd also like you to think about a couple of other things. Three questions I'd like
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.82,0:01:22.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you to answer first of all. One is 'what do you fear most in your life today?'
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.80,0:01:25.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What makes you frightened? It could be, you know, I'm afraid of snakes, or it could be
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.55,0:01:29.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,population explosion, climate change, or I'm fearful of the witch that lives next door.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.83,0:01:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The second question is 'what do you love?'
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.44,0:01:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Third one, very simple one, 'what makes you laugh?'
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.00,0:01:36.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Politicians, they make me laugh. [Laughs]
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.88,0:01:39.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the last thing I want you to do is, I
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.14,0:01:44.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want you to pull out whatever's in your pocket and film it. So I've got in my pocket my iPhone.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.20,0:01:48.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some keys. I've got a pen, now this pen, actually, was given to me by Donald Sutherland. It's
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.82,0:01:54.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a very cheap pen. He gave me a box of 20. And I've got a tissue. Maybe in your pockets
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.04,0:01:57.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's more interesting stuff? I'd love it if you did those things, cause that'd give
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.18,0:02:01.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me something that everybody in the world is doing to help me make this film.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.62,0:02:06.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is gonna be something unusual and it is gonna be something which has, I think, a kind
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.30,0:02:07.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of social value to it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.58,0:02:11.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a unique kind of documentary. So prepare for the 24th of July.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.00,0:02:14.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you.
