Today (october 15th, 2020), we showed our near ‘final ready’ documentaries to the class. My film lacked my ending as it wasn’t finished but I found it extremely beneficial to have peoples feedbacks towards my near finished documentary.

Although at the time of creating, I contemplated titling my film 2,700,000, I’ve since decided to change that name. I explored the reasoning behind my film and the audience I […]
