My group came up with several potential ideas for our documentary. We have decided that we are either going to do it on the restorative justice programs for youth in the city or a story following several different couples who are in love, but they are not the average couple. I think that doing the restorative justice one would be easier because we have access to people we can interview, where as in the other one we would need to actually find some couples. They both would be cool projects that we could create good documentaries out of.
I have always though of documentaries as the stories that are portrayed by Michael Moore; one sided and controversial. This reading had a line that stuck out to me which was "no code of ethics have ever been agreed upon by practitioners of the art..." referring to documentarians and their work. Documentaries are supposed to be about what interests you whether that be capitalism or restorative justice!
