Blog post/ reading response #1

- so far we have gone over a couple ideas for documentaries including The minnesota wild, Northside hockey, and possibly hip hop culture in the twin cities.
-trying to find a good idea that we can actually make happen.
-we have a good group so we all can agree on something easily.
-we need to hurry and set our idea in stone.
-If we start doing a documentary on the Minnesota Wild , will we be able to get enough people to let us come and talk to them that are in the program.
- Yes i believe we are, because we are good friends and we have the same interests.
-We have only started our process a couple of days ago so i guess so far it has gone swimmingly.
- we need to get the ball rolling, we need to sit down and pick a topic.

 - I learned about OBJECTIVITY: a idea that documentaries are used to balance opposing points of view.
- Something that surprised me was that when they were talking about directors and how they perform their jobs, they rely more on reflex instead of conscious deduction, because you would think that these people getting millions of dollars to make a movie would be alot more planned out about what they do as to making the movie.
- I didnt have that many questions from the reading that weren't opinion based, questions that could go either way in a sense.
- we dont really have any bias or opposing points of view to expose if we do a documentary on the Minnesota Wild. But not all documentaries have to have a conflict as one of our speakers in class said. So we can still have a good documentary without one.
-Thats a tough question because there are some situations that have similar parts to them but its hard to put those occurences into words, but it was somewhat cool connecting big movie producers to some of our everyday life in humpreys.
