I. Pre-reading
Meet the film
Life in a Day is a crowdsourced documentary film made of an arranged series of video clips selected from 81,000 clips submitted to the video sharing website, the clips showing respective occurrences from around the world on a single day.
People across the world sent in videos supposed to be recorded on 24 July 2010, and then the director produced the film and edited the videos into a film, consisting of scenes from the contributors.
The director explained that about 75% of the film’s content came from people on the Internet, traditional advertising, TV shows, and newspapers; the remaining 25% came from cameras sent out to the developing world, Macdonald pointing out “It was important to represent the whole world.”
“The film focused on a single day because a day is the basic temporal building block of human life—wherever you are,” said Macdonald.
