Reading: Imagining Reality – Pawel Pawlikowski

It was interesting to see how Pawlikowski addresses filmmaking as a platform to show the world as he sees it. It’s inspiring to see that there is so much freedom with film and that we shouldn’t make films for the benefit of our audience, but to capture and produce something that means something personally, and then leaving it up to your audience to interpret it for themselves, personally.

Another interesting thing I took from the reading was the impact of TV on documentaries, and the commercialising of TV. It further inspired me to think about making films based on the way I want to make them, rather than making something for money, or for an intended audience.
