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.
Hi Conchita,
ReplyDeleteI have watched a lot of food documentaries, including Food, Inc. I like them, but they also make me feel a little stressed out, because then whenever I eat or drink anything that they say is bad for me I worry about my health.
So now that you know a little about why people choose to make a documentary, what are your thoughts as to why the producers of Food Inc. would have chosen that topic, or chosen to make a movie at all? Are they trying to make something beautiful (Artists), are they talking about money (Investors)? What was their motivation?
