Our group is now been formed. It's Zoe, Bea and me in our documentary group. We are kind of late in the process and we really need to get together and figure out a idea! We were discussing today in class what we wanted to make a documentary about and figured out that we might do one about love and relationship in all the different stages of life and ages. We think that would be adorable and interesting to document many different kinds of people, all from small kids to old people. We are all really interested in people and think it would be a fun experience to meet many strangers, hear their stories and talk to them! So we basically have to figure out an idea, make our pitch, and start planning!
2. "How real does it feel?" by A.O.Scott
I really didn't feel that I learned a lot from reading this critic by Mr. Scott. The article was written from his perspective with a lot of personal opinions that I do not agree with. The only thing that made me think a little extra while I was reading was his point of view on documentaries not being exact, movies that are "based on a true story" often aren't really how it was in real life. This made me think about all the movies that I have really liked mainly because it actually happened in reality, might not be exact.
It surprised me that he has this strong opinion that documentaries are films without art, that basically everybody with a video camera could make, and that they are not worth seeing. I really think that through documentaries you can tell stories, share experiences and people can learn something from you through an artistic, creative way. I really didn't feel that I got anything out from reading this article, mostly upset, frustrated and board of hearing this mans strong opinions, that I'll be better out knowing.
