In class Wed Oct 19th

What documentaries did you watch? What was interesting about them? (remember we asking about how it presented the subject matter, not the subject matter itself) 

Think about this:

1) narrative
- how does the story progress through time?
- how are the main characters revealed? When in the storyline?
- what genre is the film? does it stay true to its genre or does it break conventions?
- is the film about the medium itself? does it incorporate the context of the medium into the films storyline?
- have you seen this storyline before? where?


2) use of camera angles and perspective
- how does the director use camera angles to control point of view?
- how does the perspective add to the context of the scene?
- does the director use a predominate angle through out the film or a variety?
- how does the angle effect the mood of the scene?


3) content
- what are the main colors in the film?
- how does the use of color effect the mood?
- how realistic or surreal is the environment? how does this play a role in the narrative?
- how does the film use or break stereotypes?
- is the film beautiful or sublime?
- what era of technology is the film? does this change during the film?



How do you want to release the film?
- as a normal documentary film (say for netflix)?
- in clips/sections up on social media?
- other options?



Each group should have a couple of pages of information about their subjects. We will review this information
- Organize your info
