It is very lucky for me to be allocated in this studio because I like watching documentaries very mech. Like ‘Planet Earth’, ‘Wild China’, ‘Ocean’ and etc. Before reading the ‘Green documentary’ and some researching about what is documentary. But in fact I am only know some surface content about documentary, and most of time would ignore the main intention of the center ideas from documentaries. Environment problems as a hot pot topic in nowadays, many and many related environment themes have come out. And I am also care about protecting environment issues, such as garbage sorting, how to deal with polluted river or issues about PM2.5. These problems are closely near our normal life, and should be solved as soon as possible. In that case, I hope at the end of this semester, I can totally stand at a producer’s perspective, to make a meaningful and insightful film. I totally agreed about author’s ideas in ‘green documentary’. Environment documentary can be an warning to human, also they are significant attempts to push ongoing story of the environment movement in nowadays.
After reading ‘Green documentary’ I found the approaches of documentary including environment awareness, irony, resources to argument or the materiality of the eco-doc. I preferred environment awareness this approach, cuz all I want is to raise people’s thinking about the environment issue. (Because I have missed many classes already, and only can get information from the canvas. So I think for this week, was to do an audition about the ideas of documentary, but I am not sure my thinking was right or wrong, and have no access to see the video ‘Scenes from a dry city’) Like I said in the recording, documentary is dedicated to explain the nature of society and its impact on human beings, and to the whole world. Based on the approached of documentary and its functions to the world. I hope I can apply and play valuable role in my final project.
