1. This week my group has been struggling to decide on a topic for our documentary. We have come up with a lot of ideas but none that all three of us have been able to agree on. We have set Tuesday as the day when we have to decide and I think that this is a needed and attainable goal. I think that we could all be a little bit more accepting of others ideas, and I think we will as we get closer to our deadline.
2. I thought that this was a really interesting take on documentary films. Even only talking about this year he was able to come up with so many documentary and documentary-like films and that really shows just how popular the genre is. He argues that audiences want to believe that what their seeing is real, but often know that the director has taken some liberties. I thought it was interesting when the author went in to the parts of style that make a movie feel like a documentary, like jolty camerawork. I could relate to the article because one of my favorite shows, The Office, plays on documentary styling. I thought that it was a really good question: What is actually a documentary?
