Documentary Blog #3

Our group has progressed very little, we have obtained some amount of research but only a couple pages on some studies that were done. The most challenging issue we have right now is how we are going to begin filming, we have some locations we have in mind but not a solid loaction that will relate to our question that we are trying to answer. On top of that we still have to focus on a main question to ask.

I've learned from the reading that more research can be done even on a well researched project. It's surprising that even if you think you have all the information on a certain topic you can still add more information and get a possible better result. But then again, even if you get the smallest amount of additional information, that makes your project that much better. It's not really about how much it is, just the simple fact that it becomes better.

Documentary blog #1

Our documentary group hasn't accomplished too much, we're about 80% sure we're going to film a documentary on Call of Duty: Black Ops. But we also don't know if we have our group together yet, 2 of us are in the group but we are undecided about another because of the wrok ethic he had in the PSA. Questions are group have right now is if we have our group together yet and how to begin the project altogether.

I've learned that there are have many different creative aspects, they can be about past events or even follow the "creative treatment of actuality". It can cover many different forms of film and what it can capture. It surprises me that even though you may think that your documentary is useful, it may not be useful to the majority of the audience and you have to go through many failure's before you can reach a pinnacle of success.
