I am unsure of the type of camera person that I want to I know I want to be a documentarian of important issues but don’t know what I want to film professionally yet.
“My work can change the way my subject is perceived by the people who surround him/her and can impact reputation or safety for years in the future”
This stood out to me the most because this is what I want to work on most. I want the person, people, or object that I film to change or accentuate how it is looked at. I will think deeply about the subject that I want to select, therefore making the film seem as if it is being documented from a honorable, yet still a student role. I want the audience to be able to be on edge and push their boundaries a little after viewing to do things they maybe wouldn’t have done or thought about.
I highly respect what you’ve written here about yourself as a documentarian. Your goals are admirable, and I share a lot of them. It is so important to make sure the topic of your project is something that resonates with you and others. It’s also great that you want your voice to be somewhat heard in the film, as a student but also professional. Documentary is largely about pushing boundaries and creating new ways of thinking.
