This past Monday was a nice change of pass. For a while now we have gotten into the groove of watching a film having a Q&A with the director and then finishing the class with a short activity. This week we really delved in on analyzing various forms of documentaries. I really enjoyed having the Lehigh student come and show her short documentary. I thought it was a good way to see kind of what our short documentary would model. Even her, someone who has done documentary work, still had room to grow. I also thought it was interesting how even though she was the editor and got a lot of creative freedom there were aspects of the film she didn’t like. Finally, I really enjoyed watching other people individual interviews. Even though there was not enough time to see mine I felt like I was still able to gain a lot of insight into what I can change and improve on.
