NFL documentary

I feel like this documentary is more enjoyable than the last ones. This documentary was more unique than the last one. This not only had music, b-roll and an interview but the content of this documentary and how it was structured compared to one about the comic books and the one about the man with the drive ins is that it was just this one guy from a couple of years ago to right now in what he is currently doing. the use of the pills and the superman action figure was a great way to convey what the foot ball player was feeling. The guy's attitude was also different than most. He knew his strengths and weaknesses but he also didn't let that bother him at all. That is what I liked about this documentary.

Reflectors

Reflectors can be used strategically to properly light some ones face to make them look better. There can't really be too much light on the subject but, that's why you have different reflectors that do different things. Depending on if its a silver reflector or a whit one you can get either more light in one direction or you can make a softer less sharp light.

Enjoy your Intermission

These Film makers tried to make you feel an emotional connection to the man who had a drive in for movies. The mood makes you feel almost nostalgic. They do this by authentically showing each character's feelings and their situation of going out of business.

Almost everything you need to know about B-roll

B-roll in a documentary is footage of things happening in between interviews or during narration. In a documentary it really helps when you are trying to show a certain aspect of someone's life or how something works or to see how people interact without people talking all the time. This article really encourages b-roll as something that can drive your documentary forward and make it interesting.

The art of the interview

The most important things of an interview are to make your subject feel comfortable. That means that you give them some time to worm up to the camera and feel better about being on screen. You should also direct the subject to do certain things in front of the camera. You can also not  be fixed on the questions. Its good to have be fore hand but you can also let the subject flow with the interview and let certain things unfold.

Documentary proposal template

It is unavoidable to write a proposal so, you must be prepared to write one. You need to be able to tell a good story. This is important because it needs to be interesting to get people hooked on what you trying to get them to watch. You can't information from a text book you need to be getting information from professionals. Having characters to dramatize your documentary can also really help because this helps viewers feel relatable to the character on the screen.

Writing a documentary treatment

The treatment is important because it helps keep your ideas organized to create the kind of documentary you want. The two most important things mentioned was the synopsis which gives you the foundation of your documentary idea to work with and the characters which are the main people that your idea is based around. I plan to work with my partners to help create a good, clear, and concise treatment.
