Documentaries in History: Part 1 (First Wave and Propaganda). February 24, 2015. February 24, 2015. The next step in my exploration of documentaries is to establish some history. As my guide, I used chapter two in The. Routledge Film Documentary Guidebook. By Dave Saunders, Major Trends, Movements and Voices. The chapter began by looking at the origins of documentary which are somewhat difficult to pinpoint. Principles like the later Hollywood films we became so accustomed to viewing. Nanook of the North.

Defining Documentaries and CitizenFour. May 1, 2015. June 11, 2015. However, this definition can be disputed on all points.

I’ve accepted to give the best of myself, so that wildlife can be safeguarded beyond all pressure. Beyond all spirit of greediness about money. Beyond all things.

Google and the World Brain. April 29, 2015. June 11, 2015. I am a lover of books. I truly enjoy reading for pleasure and as a personal preference, always read from a real book (reading a book in Barnes and Noble while drinking a Starbucks coffee is my ultimate happy place). As a research project and eventual short documentary of my own making, I will be investigating the transition that libraries are undertaking due to our advancements in technology. In lieu of this upcoming project, I decided to watch.

What's Up Doc? A Blog About Documentary Films. February 9, 2015. February 9, 2015. This documentary is easily one of the most inspiring films I have seen.

The film told the stories of nine girls from all over the world and the hardships they’ve endured in order to receive an education. Another interesting aspect of the visual elements...
