All right Josh what's this camp about?
It's about connecting.
Yash, tell me one word that describes this grade.
The idea that we're not in this alone.
We're starting DP together and
we're going to get through it together.
I think the main part of this camp
was to build teamwork
Most of the activities that we did was about how we all worked together.
I myself enjoyed the Shrine Cleanup
because it taught me how to connect with the community
and I think that's a very valuable skill.
in this world we live in.
Teamwork skills, definitely. Collaboration skills, study skills,
A lot of the activities that we did in camp involved being in a group and working together
to achieve a goal, so definitely teamwork skills.
Collaborative skills, guys.
Collaborative skills.
In my group everyone had different ideas and we all were able to connect them
and were able to create them, basically.
"Uniting."
"Unity."
"Good Morning."
"Engaging."
"Interaction."
"Litty."
"Active"
"Eye-opening."
"Magical."
"Adventurous."
"Entertaining."
"Energetic."
"Extravagant."
"Memorable."
"Risk Taker."
"Cooperation."
"Respect."
"Heatstroke. (熱中症)"
"Lively."
"Camaraderie."
"Engaging."
"Loud."
I think it brought us all closer as a grade
through these team building activities
Well, Mr. Rose told us that DP is all about teamwork,
and we built really strong bonds within our area
which will probably help us in DP.
I think it's really important to know that DP scores aren't always the first priority.
We're all in it together until the next two years.
"Friendship is key."
The beach was really fun especially going with everyone since we never really get to
hang out as a grade.
I think being open-minded is something we learned,
We saw our classmates doing things that we don't usually see them do
Like dancing and singing, and just doing other things.
So, just accepting that and looking at them as more than just your friends
and as fellow peers was really important.
I think that when people think of DP they think of studying a lot
and maybe getting away from friends to study
but the camp all in all helped us understand that in the end we're all there for each other
and that we can support each other through these hard times.
Communication was a huge part because we're taken out of the KIST environment
and we're pushed more than usual to connect with the people around us
I think it united us as a grade since now we all have a shared experience
that we can all talk about and relate to.
And we all have the same very weird stories from the same camp.
I think embracing this few couple days and enjoying as much as possible.
Just have fun.
Because for DP,
Because you choose your own classes
so you don't get to speak with a lot of
people so we got to know a lot of people.
All of us are more united after the camp than we were before.
Memories of camp will remain with us 'til the very end.
'til death.
Q: What did you think about KIST prior to the camp and how did it change after the camp?
I personally had a very academic image
of KIST before the camp but through camp I
learned that there was other activities
not just academics and I really enjoyed
that.
They also look at our health during the DP and how we should
manage our time and I think that was something that we gained from this trip.
It will probably be hard for the first couple of weeks but after going to camp
and making a lot of friends it's gonna
be a lot easier because DP is all about teamwork.
It's actually through camp you
can make friends so easily because
they're do the ice breaking activities
where they mix students randomly in
other groups and I really got to talk to
so many people and got to just know
people and I'm more comfortable working with them now.
Q: What were your intentions in making this
movie?
My fundamental intention was to promote KIST as a whole
and also give a message to our grade on how united we are.
And we wanted in a way that is very artistic and eye-catching because
we believe that just publishing
an article on a website or a newspaper
it wouldn't really
attract that much attention so we
thought you know a short film or like a
documentary would've done a better job
in promoting how united we are as a grade.
And I felt it was important to capture the moment of us being united in the camp
and us having fun and for our last camp.
Camp was a huge moment in our grade and in our experiences
so I think camp really highlighted us as a grade; as a message.
A lot of people have this misconception that KIST is a school that really
focuses on academics but we just want to
show you guys that "No, we can have fun!"  and
the camp is an essential highlight that shows that we're not just
studying, but we're studying while having
fun
Q: Did you guys enjoy filming?
It was really interesting
seeing people in the camera. I was
able to capture a lot of good moments
and being able to see the
world in a lens it makes
you feel enlightened
that you can watch all
these people having fun it just, a lens.
Yeah, especially seeing people's joy and smiles; it made my day better.
Q: What kind of skills did you earn through making this movie?
Definitely communication
Organizational as well; making the clips, finding music, finding video clips,
really taught us how to organize ourselves in a way that she puts the video
And for communication, it's not really verbal because
once again, we want to capture the moment where they don't know we're filming;
that they're just having fun
and I think silence in itself is
a form of communication for Oliver and I who filmed the whole trip
so we had to like practice the art of
silence which is to just "stand there and
watch". That's an art in disguise.
And also dedication; not all of us were dedicated go
through the whole entire camp filming, like us.
We were dedicated to capture this moment.
No matter how tired our arms are no matter
how hard we were we just had to film and
I think dedication was one of the things that both of us have learned. Perseverance.
Q:Do you guys think not only the camp united
this year but through this project
everybody got together
Yeah. The fact that we
chose the groups at random;
we tested their chemistry together
like all the students together anything
and we figured out that "you know everybody gets along in this school."
It's just clear and nice to see that we're all best friends. Even though we may act that way but it
it's just the thought that counts.
Q:So what are you final messages as director and editors?
I want you to watch this film not just as a
promotion for this school but as an
actual art that represents our
grade and our school and shows our true
message which is "Learning for Life."
