As a class we discussed the screening of the film the thin blue line, looking at questions such as how is it different from "traditional documentaries?" Is objectivity an important concern of this film? Truth? Is the filmmaker fair to his subjects?

Week 2- In the second week of the course we aimed to find answers to the questions such as :How our characters/subjects are what they do?Who are our characters? Where are our characters? Why should anyonecare enough to watch them? As well as this we also discussed the screening of the documentary film about Harlan mining. I personally thought the film was emotive and thought provoking however struggled to follow who the characters were and clearly understand what exactly they were fighting for. We also discussed pairings, where i spoke with my classmate Rebecca about potential projects.

What is a director? What do we require of a director?. After this brief intro we discussed ideas for documentaries, about subjects we were interested in. I chose music in the 80s, football hooliganism and also organized crime. These are basic ideas that can be built on.
