Today we saw Makia's documentary which displayed the violence in the streets of Philadelphia.
I love documentaries, and can't wait to create a full documentary. Right now, I'm filming a short piece that showcases the art students at Hunter. I'm so excited! The people in my crew are all different, which is great because we can all bring our diverse backgrounds/teachings to the 3-8 minute film.
Back to Makia's documentary though...
I had lots of questions. I asked if we needed to request permission for certain people who happened to be in the shot. What type of microphones were used? What was your inspiration?
I love documentaries because they open the audience to another world, a world that is real, and at times, right next door. It was nice that we were able to see some of her work.
Looking at some of her shots, I saw that my shots in the short documentary I'm doing now, are different. We all have different angles and stylistic approaches and I can appreciate that.
