Making Documentary Films (Chapter 9)

Chapter nine Explains why people make Documentary films and what they film of. Like someone who feels passionate about people disobeying the traffic light. It talks about how its hard to film a documentary film because you need permission for filming things and its hard to capture moments. also people give you low budgets. It explains that if you want success enough you'll be able to get it. Also if you unplanned its a bad idea because you should always be planned. Over planning is a bad idea because you mine have to re plan things and you can end up wasting money.

Making Documentary Films (Chapter 8)

This chapter is about producing a documentary film. It talks about everything you'll need to make a good one. It talks about how you'll need a lot of money to make your film better and whether you want a :film" or a "video". they also say you need a script and actors, which to me doesn't make sense because its a documentary film. why would you need actors in a documentary film? They make a documentary film sound like a very hard things to make and a very time consuming thing.

Film Idea

My new video idea is going to be about zombies. I will be filming zombies attacking people and ask people how they feel about zombies. I will travel to where the zombies live and get them in action. I might not make it back alive... but i will do anything for this wonderful class, even if it cost my own life.
