Production Log

This production log, I will talk about what our documentary "storyline" type of thing should be like. We should start off making like we are actually doing a real documentary about dress code. But after a couple interviews we find out that someone has disappeared and gone into hiding because they got caught breaking dress code and fled the scene. Our crew though did not catch it on tape and the only video is like a Bigfoot type of video where it shows the suspect walking away and then he/she turns their head around and looks at the camera and then walks off behind a building or something. Then the documentary turns into the mockumentary and we start interviewing the people who are searching for the suspect. Then later when the suspect is found, we do more interview from everyone and maybe even the suspect.

Paris is Burning

In the documentary, Paris is Burning, one perspective of drag balls would be that they are the best ways for someone in drag to let all their feelings out in a public place without any consequences. Others are not in to that type of thing but just leave people who do drag on their own and let them do their own thing. Basically they don't care much about it. There are also people who also are not into drag balls but it is a little overboard for them and they don't like the fact that people do that at all. They basically want to stop drag altogether.
The people who go to drag balls to watch or participate are the ones who like the drag balls and feel that is is the best way for people in drag to let out all their feelings. They are also the people who feel awkward on the streets and don't feel like they fit in. But in drag balls, they can fit in.
There are also people who aren't into that type of thing, but let it be and try not to get involved with any commotion. Those are the people who can care less. I would probably be in this category.
Other people who also aren't into drag and drag balls, but they don't like it so much that they want to stop it altogether. They will call people who go to drag balls derogatory names or even kill them. There are many people who are like this. In the documentary a person in drag was murdered because that person was going to drag balls before they could finish the documentary.
Those are three different types of opinions about drag and drag balls.

Production Log

If the topic we were doing for our documentary was surfing, some essential topics that would need to be followed would be the following...
-tow-in vs. paddle-in
-artificial reefs
-windsurfers vs. surfers (safety)
-epoxy vs. fiberglass
-contests vs. soul surfer
-are surfers bums?
-crowds
-line-up order
To get some opinions on these topics, it would be great to interview some surfers maybe even including a pro surfer. We could also ask non surfers questions that might be different if we asked them like 'are surfers bums?'

Video Project

I think that our video project should be about the sport of surfing. Surfing is a good topic because there is a lot of background information that we can provide the viewer with. Since we live in Hawaii surf is not hard to find and is a part of many people's lives. There are a lot of different people that we can interview and there are also different opinions on the sport of surfing. Most people will say that surfing is a great, fun sport, which I agree with. But another view of surfing is that it is a sport for slackers or bums. This can be supported by the fact that there are many surfers including pros that dropped out of high school for surfing. But surfing is such an awesome sport. I can relieve stress and it can also raise adrenaline. It is also a sport for all ages. Doing our video project on surfing would be very fun.
