I. For the documentary project I decided to take on this task by myself. I loved working in a group for the PSA but I feel like I can get things done quicker and not having to worry about getting together with other people will make the documentary process much easier for me. So far I'm really between topics, I either want to do the progress of the MPLS parkboards, which I am a part of because I work at Nokomis Community Center, or I was thinking about doing a documentary on the Pond Hockey Tournament which is taking place at Lake Nokomis and has been a tradition for many years. The only problem with doing the Pond Hockey Tournament would be that I would have to do my filming right away and make sure I get everything I want and need to make my documentary successful. It's happening on January 22nd-24th. I'm leaning towards the Pond Hockey Tournament just because it's something that I've been to several times and I'm really interested in it. That's all that I have in mind right now, and I hope this project goes really well for me!
II. The things I learned from "Introduction" Directing the Documentary by Michael Rabiger was to make sure that it's very important to plan ahead when making a documentary. You don't really want to jump right into because you may not end up getting all the information that you want necessarily. I also learned that there are so many different things that you could do your documentary on, whether it was recent, or something from the past, you can really take your subject to the next level to teach whoever about a subject you're most interested in. What really surprised me is how many different ideas and such you can use to make an actual documentary, there are so many different ideas and point of views out there in the documentary world. Reading this just made me that much more excited to get started with this project, and to see every ones final drafts!
