One-Inch Punch

Descriptions of a documentary:

• A creative interpretation of reality.
• The gray area between art and journalism.
• The presentation of socially useful information to the public.
• Making drama from real life.

Since it is a one-person, low-budget documentary it is not very informational or fun in any way. Everyone has different interests, but this would not be anywhere in my lists of interests.

I did not like the documentary because first of all, it's not the sort of thing I would want to watch again. Ever. But set that aside, and the biggest reason is that there is not enough information in the documentary. There wasn't a lot history about the one-inch punch. And the documentary wasn't given much effort into it to make it flow more smoother.

The description that fits the documentary more closely is "Making drama from real life." Because the documentary went through making the one-inch punch sound really big and powerful. When it is not. Even if the documentary is not exactly like "Making drama from real life." It's the closest thing to describe the film. While watching the film, I noticed that the information given to us was not useful nor did we get enough information on it.

Definition of a Documentary

We were seperated into four different groups to define the word "documentary" in our own words and of course, everyone has their own idea. And I was very satisfied by how my teammates and I worked together. My group and I were able to listen to each other's ideas and make one whole definition that combines all of our ideas. We also listened and respected everyone's ideas and listened carefully to all of them. 

One of my favorite documentaries I have watched is Food, Inc. It was very informative and pretty shocking throughout the whole film. Food, Inc was my first ever documentary and from then on, I am very intrigued and happy to watch any other documentaries out there. Food, Inc was about the food industry and how things are made, sent out, and so on. It shows graphs, datas, real life examples, and many more.

My group's definition fits perfectly to Food, Inc. It is a film that informs you about specific things, and the one topic that is shown in Food, Inc is the food industry. It tells all about the food industry and does not go off topic, it only talks about one topic and other things that go with it.
