HOW TRADITIONS IN HONG KONG HAVE CHANGED
Chung Yeung Festival (October 5)
By Kazia, Isabella and Robert

Plot Outline:

Film Story-line:
1. Introduction
* What is it exactly?
* Why is it celebrated? 
* How is it traditionally celebrated?
2. Film the process of ritual on the actual day -> How it's celebrated now
3. Interviews:
* Interview those who celebrate it
* Interview those who don't celebrate it
4. Conclusion:
* Archival footage of how it was celebrated back then
* How it is celebrated now

Things we still have to research about:
1. How do people still celebrate it?
2. Where do they go to celebrate it?
* Location: Mountains (to be decided) --wherever the celebrations take place-- on the festival day
                  Busy streets: Causeway Bay/ Central; interview using interview questions. 
                  Better filmed on actual day but doesn't have to be.
3. Interviewees:
* Old people (those who do celebrate it, those who don't)
* Young/Middle-aged people  (those who do celebrate it, those who don't)
* Chinese teachers at CIS
* Amahs at CIS
* Foreigners (?) [Follow the movement of the day]

Interview Questions:
For those who celebrate the festival:
1. What do you usually do on this festival day?
2. Do you do this every year? If not, how often do you do this?
3. How long have you been doing this for?
4. How did you use to celebrate this festival? Do you celebrate it any differently now?
For those who don't celebrate the festival:
1. Do you know what the festival is about?
2. Do you know how this is celebrated?
3. Did you use to celebrate this festival? If so, why don't you celebrate it anymore?
4. What do you usually do on this festival if you don't celebrate it?
Quiz them on the knowledge of festivals-how each festival is celebrated.
