In the beginning of the class when I was told about Schindler House, it was first time ever hearing about that house. And as I began to research about Schindler House I became more excited and couldn’t wait until I finally get to visit the house in person. My first thought when I walked into the house was: ‘what is so special about this building?’ The house itself was definitely bigger than I expected, with so many empty spaces and rooms, and lots of windows and doors. It almost felt like a maze. I was still having hard time finding why is this house so important as such a well-known architecture in the history of Los Angeles.
Our group had decided to make a film about Schindler House. I thought filming was a great idea so we can put every detail in the house in different angles. Basically what we did was to show three different artists living in the Schindler House together but they have their own individual space of living and working, but somehow they interact each other in the house. We had a baker, fashion designer, and photographer who experience and study the house with their own method and enjoy the life in the house. In our film the element to connect all three artists was the baker’s cookies. During daytime the artists in the house are busy working on their own stuff but they all love cookies.
We also tried to put some historical information in the scenes, such as the scene where the photographer goes upstairs to get wine that is hidden under the shelf because of the Alcohol prohibition in 1920s.
After shooting the film in the house I finally realized the significant of the Schindler House. The house is built so functional and spacious, which obviously shows Schindler’s intention of building the house. It was fun filming in the house and was an honorable experience to have such a detailed tour in the one of the greatest modern architectures remained in Los Angeles.
