We have accomplished the worksheet given to us that is a guideline of what we need to do, and when we need to do it by. this was a helpful outline for us to actually visualize what we need to do and how we need to do it. Noting has really been challenging yet, but seeing as we need to present a pitch next tuesday we need to lock down this idea and set it up pronto. We have a good group and i think that we will do well and not screw around as much as other groups have been already. We have high hopes still on making a strong documentary and hopefully impressing many by what we can accomplish.
There wasn't much that i didnt know in this article, but i really enjoyed how Scott writes about "Mr. Brainwash" as he or she puts. How the person behind the viewfinder can be put up to blame for sometimes fraud. It had me thinking about how powerful these documentaries can be to people, and how they can influence the human mind. I also got sucked into thinking about the art of the piece as the author talks about on page 5. The author is talking about getting frustrated trying to find the art in the piece or even just finding the point of the documentary. I feel that we need to take more of a artistic approach at this documentary instead of "just aiming a camera at something thats happening and calling it a movie" I dont want our film to just be another recording that will get looked past by hundreds of people. We have a chance to make something great and I plan on pushing to exactly that. On a last note i liked how the author ends the piece with two questions; "What did you see this year? And more to the point: What do you believe?" It somewhat leaves the option to create your own ending and even leaves the idea of thinking about that days after when you run into a documentary or even a tv show that can bring you back and make you think about the article, thats something i really enjoy in reading well done articles.
Overall very good piece of literature, Dope
