PROGRESS:
Not going to lie, up to this point I was pretty iffy on our potential topic of panhandling, but after a talk with Ms. Hodge this week I feel WAY more confident and ready to do this documentary. Ms. Hodge helped us narrow our focus down to pandhandling in South Minneapolis, and suggested possible interviewees, such as the Minneapolis Police Department. We also did some research and found a couple local groups that deal with panhandling and homelessness and wrote down their contact info, we plan to contact them soon. I feel we're almost ready to move on from to pre-planning and pre-shooting, just a few more things to do.
READING RESPONSE:
I thought this piece was interesting in the way it read - very subjective, with dashes of humor and wit. It's a nice change of pace from the usual boring pieces we're given in school today - no offense, teachers. Yet at points it got a little over the top, I felt this especially when I read about "Mr. Brainwash." I thought this title was a bit unneccessary, but I quickly forgot about this once I saw that the documentary "Catfish" was referenced - this is literally THE worst movie I've ever seen. I distinctly remember saying, and I quote, "I would rather eat a 10 dollar bill, that would be a better use of my money," after seeing that film. Anyways, the rest of the reading was less interesting to me than the beginning. It was useful in the ways that it portrayed the variations and representation of the modern documentary.
