本文分享筆者一個紀錄片製作經驗，拍攝對象是兩位居住於台灣東海岸的阿美族音樂人，內容與原住民如何適應現代社會、部落文化及音樂有關，透過這兩人的差異表現出影片的主題：傳承與創新。這個專案拍攝期間長達兩年，後期製作期間超過一年，片中有六種不同語言、超過二十首不同的歌曲，是具有相當複雜性與挑戰的製作專案。由於這個專案由筆者自己擔任攝影與導演，因此文中從第一人稱的角度，將影片從籌拍到後製完成分成四個階段，分享製作過程中解決問題的思考方式與實施經驗，重點包括身兼攝影與導演時準備器材的考量與使用經驗；拍攝過程中特殊小道具的重要性與重要畫面如何取得；如何從毫無頭緒的拍攝素材找到故事的主軸，並完成影片故事大綱；以及影片配樂的處理及字幕製作必須要求的標準，最後並提出本片的文化價值。

I will share my experience about a documentary production project in this article. The subjects are two Pangcah singers who live in the east coast of Taiwan. The story is about their music, how to cope to the modern society and their tribe culture. I express the theme of the film which is tradition and innovation by the differences between them. It took me two years to shoot, and one more year for post-production. There are six different languages, over twenty different songs, in this documentary film. It is quite complex and challenging project. Due to I am camera-operator and director, so this article will take the first-person point of view. I divided it into four parts, how to prepare necessary equipment, the process of filming, how to catch the theme of the story, and the arrangement of soundtrack and subtitle. Finally I will comment the cultural meaning of this project.
