What do you love? What do you fear? What's in your pocket? These are the questions from the film Life in a Day. Director Kevin Macdonald asked people around the world to answer the questions and send in a video clip from a typical day. He was interested in creating a picture of the world, a digital time capsule for the future. On 24 July 2010, people from Africa, Europe, America, Antarctica and Asia recorded events on their mobile phones and digital cameras and uploaded the results onto YouTube. Altogether there were 81.000 video clips, or 4,500 hours of footage. It took Macdonald and a team of researchers seven weeks to make them into a film. The film starts at midnight. The moon is high in the sky, elephants are bathing in a river in Africa and a baby is sleeping. At the same time, in other parts of the world, people are getting up, brushing their teeth and making breakfast. In the next minutes of the film, which is one and a half hours long, we watch everyday routines from more than 140 different countries and see the connections between them. In one scene an American girl is playing with her hula hoop; in another; a child is working as a shoeshine in Peru. One looks privileged, the other is poor, but then the shoeshine boy shows us his favourite thing — his laptop. He's very proud of it because he earned the money to pay for it. We all care about the same things, says the director and in some ways he's right. Family and friends are the things most people love and many of them are keen on sports, like football. But then one man says he loves his cat and another loves his fridge because it doesn't talk back! 1. Who directed the film? ................
