We just added another member to our documentary group, Bea Cooper. I think we can still do really good with three people. It'll probably be a little harder to coordinate, but I'm sure we'll come out with a great finished project. We have yet to decide on our final subject of the documentary. It's between the question "Is monogamy really possible?", and the topic of sentencing juveniles in the court. Tomorrow we'll make a decision and write down a time line, so that we have a schedule to follow.
This week's article was called "How Real Does It Feel?", by A.O. Scott. I guess sometimes people make movies and fool the public into thinking what they made was a documentary, when really it's not. Recently it's become popular with film makers to make movies in a way that makes them look somewhat home-made. This seems especially popular with horror movies, like Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity. This style seems to captivate the audience more. It freaks them out, to know that it could all possibly be real. Recently it seems kind of impossible to be able to tell which film is reality/based on reality or labeled reality, but warped into something an audience wants.
