Blog Post 13- Stereotypes

 In this documentary there will be one main stereotype, and that is that men cant live on there own. This will be shown through mise-en-scene. Since he is in the military and his base is over 3 hours away he decieded to buy his own house up there, and everytime we go up to his house it is a complete mess and i can almost guarentee that many other familes can relate to this so i thought it would be a great part to add

in want to show clips of a messy house unmade bed, sink filled to the top with dirty dishes and more thing like that while having a voiceover of him talking about how challenging it is to keep up with it all and how it would be so much easier if he could have his wife around to help with those types of things that he is not great at. 

By making this is creates the stereotype of men cannot live on there own and that they need.a women to do most of the chores around the house and it backs that up with all of these examples as well and what the man is saying to go with it

Blog Post 1- Final Project Idea

Image
 For my final project i decided to create a documentary on how the lives of navy soldiers as well as there daily lives and how it effects there families at home. This project idea came from a more personal source as i am someone who has a family member in the navy. Learning what there daily lives are like can provide a sense of sympathy as well as for the families who are missing apart of there families. I believe this documentary could bring in many different audiences as well as keep audiences entertained with an emotional aspect. I plan to show the two different lifestyles of a family, between a mom with her 3 kids and a husband who can never be home since he is always on duty. Learning about the daily life or weeks for a navy soldier can be emotional for people who do not understand or even people who are familiar with the topic which can create an even more emotional atmosphere. By appealing to people emotions is keeps audiences interested and growing. I plan on showing multip...

Blog Post 23- Three Products - Video

 Video is the most important part of documentary's, it is a key feature and it would be extremely hard to succeed without it. In a documentary almost all shots are handheld and propped up. This can be to emphasize things they are talking about as well as provide an example . When footage is shaky and not as clean this can make it seem more real and make it more sensory for the audience. Adding what you are talking about and it gives an audience a clear image instead of having them assume what the the documentary wants them to think or see. You want to provide your audience with these major things, one the narrative of the which sets the rest of documentary which in this case would be the husband in the military, and how he feels about being far from his family and how he thinks it effects his family. Then the supplementary footage which is all the extra footage that relates and help builds toward the meaning but not the main focus, in this case that would be the clips of dirty dish...

Blog Post 22- Narrativies Of Documentary

Image
 All films usually consists of a narrative, so i went and researched the main four. These consists of the three act structure, circular narrative, linear/ chronological narrative, and parallel/multi-strand. The three strand act is when it is a fictional story for an example where there is a hero and a princess, these are made strictly for entertainment and it contains when there is an obstacle to get through to either start a new resoultion, and a new understanding within the audience. The circular narrative is when the film starts off what with the film will also end with, this has it so the middle shows how they got to this point it. A linear/ chronological narrative is when a film or media presents everything exactly how it happened in order. A parallel/ multi-strand is when there are multiple stories happening at once, the storylines are made to seem like they are unrelated but eventually they will meet in the same storyline and they all will share something in common related t...
