One of the key takeaways that I got from the Kirsten’s Q&A is about how to gain trust : One way that KJ is able to gain the trust of the people in her documentary is she gets close to and “see” the “specific” individual. She states, “It doesn’t matter what kind of camera you are using, it matters how you are present with people.” KJ says that camera work is about moving around and that depending on where the cameraperson positions his/herself to his subjects will determine the relationship between them. She moves around with the camera because “there is a compression of time”; thus, she wants those in front of it to know that she is present.
