So far my group has decided that we want to focus our documentary on adoption. We have also decided we would like to use a personal aspect and interview my family for the film. One challenging thing is that we do not know what aspect of adoption to focus on. We have decided to interview my family and see what aspect seems to be the most important or moving and then go from there. We still need to figure out who to interview as an expert but my mom works for an adoption agency so she will be able to help us. We are all working together very well and are all very enthusiastic about our topic.
The reading made me think of documentaries more widely, meaning that more movies are some form of a documentary. For instance I would have never have thought that The Social Network could be considered a documentary. I mean everyone in the movie was a paid actor. I did know that is was based on true events but i didn't know that could classify it as a documentary. When I saw it it seemed to me as if it was just another big blockbuster hit based on a true story. After reading this I feel like at the beginning or end of each movie there should be disclaimer telling the viewer exactly what aspects of the film are "real". In film what is "real"? I do not know if there is a way to answer that.
