Well, we really don't wanna say too much about it. We gang of the same philosophy just shoot. Hungry? Blood up? Click on ME.
We are in need of crews, the best from IMD. Don't let those plain P guys make the history!

Research Bibliography
What I've read:
The Photoplay: A Psychological Study - Hugo Munsterberg;
The Surfaces of Reality - Michael Roemer;
The Language of Vision - Gyorgy Kepes;
Art and Visual Perception - Rudolf Anheim;
Film as Art - Rudolf Arnheim;
Toward True Cinema - Slavko Vorkapich;
An Introduction to Psychology (only the part of the visual and aural);
An Introduction of Film History;
....
(I'm cautions to see reading is good for fine arts - except the history. For cinema, the recorded media, many productive researches along the history are based on hands-on experiments; Playing with text (medium) doesn't mean anything because it has nothing to do with cinema, another medium. The Bibliography of the recorded media, cinema, should be a serial of cinematic pieces.)

EAGLE CATCHES CHICKEN

This is an outdoor collective game. The more the players, the intense and
fun it is. People line up having the leading one play the role of the HEN
while the lining people, playing the role of CHICKEN must hold with both
hands the clothing of the on in front of s/he from behind. A the beginning,
one chosen player stands facing the HEN to be the EAGLE.
The fun is: EAGLE tries to capture the CHICKEN at the end of the line and
the HEN tries to block the EAGLE from her children.
Now there are 3 MODs for it:
Nothing changes but CHICKEN circle around, hand in hand. Mission for both sides remains.
Two EAGLES and two HENS. Each EAGLE tries to catch the opposite CHICKEN. HENS try to shelter.
One EAGLE and one HEN but two lines for CHICKEN. If the EAGLE approaches from the left, the one at the end of the left line breaks its connection with the left lin and form a ending chain to the right line. The 2nd last chicken of the left line breaks the connection after the 1st last chicken builds connection (with the right line). The eagle always tries to catch the last one of the right line. If the eagle approaches from the right, the symmetrical happens.
