My documentary group is going to have a lot of fun with this project. We've figured out the main question we want to be answered, "Can monogamy really exist?" We've to interview two different couples and a single person to get there takes on the question. It's going to be really difficult to get all that we want to show into a 5-10 minute film, but I think we'll do okay. Right now as far as people we want to interview I only have one couple in mind and Lena knows of another. We just need to set up times.
This week's assigned reading was all about research for a documentary. The article says that in all the excitement a lot of people will most likely only brush over the research process, not getting enough information. There seems to always be more room for research. This article is a great guide to how to do research. I didn't even think of looking into old news articles or political history. They say, "the best research is done when there is a genuine desire on the part of the scriptwriter." I have interest in my topic so I think my group will be able to do some good research.
