The documentary project was probably the most challenging\u00a0projects ever in my Freestyle years. Our assignment\u00a0was to explore a topic that we choose, and gather research by Interviewing the right people.<\/p>\n
I have to say, I don’t really watch a lot of documentary films\/shows, so I don’t really know how you make a documentary. But that doesn’t mean that I hated it. I had a lot of fun exploring a topic that is relevant\u00a0to my life, and it also was my first time I ever interviewed someone.<\/p>\n
My Interview subject was about Immigrants\u00a0from Israel, and how they look at their lives\u00a0at the USA compared to Israel. I decided to interview three people that I know: a child, a teenager, and an adult. I decided to do that to get multiple perspectives on that subject because moving to other countries can affect you differently\u00a0depending on your age. I learned more about my interviewees, and I heard a lot of great stories that they told me. It was a really special project to do because I have been through the same not so long before I worked on the project.<\/p>\n
Our Documentary Design project was probably the hardest, and complex project I ever did for Freestyle. Our task was to design a book or article about our documentary\u00a0topic. First I made up questions for the interviewees, and I recorded all the three interviews. I wrote the whole three interviews on paper and added the text to a software called InDesign, the software where we designed our\u00a0books. After I took some photos\u00a0of the interviewees and more, I added those up and made the book. It was the most complex project I did for Freestyle because it requires a lot of work and skills to make the book interesting to look at. You have to experiment\u00a0a lot, and sometimes the software doesn’t\u00a0save your progress and even crashed at some points. But after all that hard work, I was really happy with the final product and was very excited to hold the physical book on my hands.<\/p>\n
