Introduction<\/h2>\n

The explorations project was focused around the question: how can you master and address a passion you have by using skills from the 21st century? The Documentary unit was my favorite project from the year so I knew I wanted to base my explorations research around that same subject.\"\" After reviewing the six modes of a documentary I decided to focus on poetic documentaries. I chose this because it seemed similar to experimental film, another unit I enjoyed, and I thought it was an effective way to express ideas, making it a style I could continue to use in the future.<\/p>\n

To target this passion I conducted research about the differences between the \"\"<\/span>six different modes, what a poetic documentary is, and the history behind it. I found credible sources through websites and through databases to learn more about my topic. I also discovered an insightful book titled, Introduction To Documentary, <\/span><\/i>by Bill Nicholas. This source provided lots of detailed and relevant information about documentaries in general. <\/span><\/p>\n

The following shows some of the ways I utilized my research along with my very own poetic documentary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Process<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

STEP ONE: RESEARCH<\/strong><\/p>\n

While I conducted my research I took extensive notes on a google document combining everything I had\u00a0learned so far. My research consisted of reading parts of Nicolas’ book, \"\"watching a video about the history documentary, and lots of viewings of poetic documentaries. I then\u00a0<\/span>created a presentation to share what I had learned.<\/span><\/p>\n

STEP TWO: PLAN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on my research I knew I wanted to make a poetic documentary about a relevant topic that would make the viewers feel inspired to create change. I brainstormed ideas about topics that I would consider. I then narrowed it down to earth and focused on creating a film highlighting the effects of climate change, a current world issue. I wrote a script and planned shots that I wanted to f\"\"eature in my documentary.<\/p>\n

STEP THREE: CREATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

I spent four days shooting my documentary. I decided I wanted to shoot the earth with stormy weather which limited my options on what to film and where to go to film. I spent many days in the local hills to try and capture intense wind and rain.<\/p>\n

Results<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Poetic Documentary<\/h3>\n

My poetic documentary highlights climate change in a creative and interpretive way. The voice throughout the film is from the perspective of the earth and it stresses that change needs to happen fast.<\/p>\n\t\t\t
