First, let me bore you with a story.
We had a week of classes in film history as part of my Bachelors program at my school that shall not be named. At the end of this week, we were supposed to be able to identify certain events in film history that are interesting and make our own "documentary" about something.
I first thought about making the documentary about my favourite style of film – Film Noir. However, I don't own anywhere close to enough DVDs to make a 15 minute documentary about it. In the end, I decided to do the original series of Star Trek. It had enough topics to be discussed. Off the top of my head was the first interracial kiss on television, the view of women and the internationality of the bridge.
Making the documentary wasn't easy. My school lies a good hour and a half away from where I live. If I wanted to use the professional sound recording facilities, I'd have to get an audio person to help and extra someone to read. Since I didn't think much about it, and didn't want to go through the extra stress of finding someone here who spoke English, I did it myself. At home. With my brothers microphone.
My brother has a pretty good microphone, since he is an amateur "recording artist" so the quality wasn't that bad.
I'm not too pleased with the result, but then again I hardly ever am. However, something must have been good since I got 99%. But that might say more about my school than about my documentary.
Well, here it is. Feel free to leave a comment. If you want.
