Documentary Ideas

Being Muslim in America       

This is Keleon Rockett, he is a 26 year old Muslim living in America. While he is not the ideal image of what most Americans considr to be Muslim. He is not from the middle east, he does not wear a turban, and he is not a terrorist. Too many Americans have associated the religion with the terrorist of September 11th 2001 and it is the objective of this documentary to explore the Muslim world inorder to give new meaning to the religion. I believe that if Americans could seize the opportunity to understand and shed the ignorance, then the Muslim community could live amongst the rest of the world without fear of judgement.

A Mystery's Past     

This is a photo of my mother and I. She along with the rest of my family have a mystery that dates back to the 70's. I have never met my mothers mom because she pasted away around 1986. It was found that my grandmother had Schizophrenia andshe frequently attended Oaklawn for theropy. However, one day out of the blue my grandmother got into her car and drove. She drove south until she arrived in Mississippi. Where the police say she parked on a bridge over a busy highway climbed the edge and jumped. The police ruled her death a suicide, however it was found that she did not jump she was hit by a car, on purpose. Days after she was hit by the car, the man responsible was murdered before police could speak with him. Not even a year after my grandmothers death my great uncle (my grandfathers brother) was found stabbed to death. It was later discovered that my grandfather was having an affair with his brothers wife and soon after my great uncles funeral my grandfather and great aunt announced they were getting married. My grandfather and great aunt have both past away, but my family has to know, did my grand father murder my grandmother and my great uncle only to have my great aunts hand in marraige?

The American Immigrant
The concept of this Documentary is to show the struggles of an immigrant trying to make it in America. This country which was founded from immigrants, promises the "American Dream" as long as you are willing to work hard. There are plenty of immigrants from around the world who have worked there whole life to make a better tomorrow for their families. Yet, this country degrades them for it and makes it almost impossible to abide by all the rules and jump through all the hoops. And because of this many immigrants are afraid to come forth and begin the naturalization process because the fear of deportation. Then again, there are people who have came to this country to no fault of their own, brought by their parents and they too are forced to deal with the hassel and the broken immigration system. What I want to say with this film is that there are immigrants out there who pay taxes, who play by the rules, who do not take the jobs from the american public. Also, why does it make sense to allow almost half if not more of the American public to sit on their butts, living off of welfare, and allowing the Government to take care of their seven children, when there are hard working people out there that are actually willing to contribute to society and make somthing of themselves. Seriously this country needs to look at the fact and reform immigration as soon as possible.

Ordinary People- John Legend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIh07c_P4hc

This music video of Ordinary People by John Legend is a great model of many shots used by camera operators. The video opens with an establishing shot of just the piano in a blank or white room (ofcourse accomplished by gereenscreen) and then John Legend walks onto set. This sets up a long shot of him where we can see him from head to toe as he approches the piano to begin the song. This video also uses a crane to capture aerial views of the set as he sings and it also uses a dolly to provide the zoom view of Legend then transitions to a close up of the singer. It also uses medium shot close ups and then racks the focus of the lens to focus on the glass of water. this type of shot will be used throughout the video. By racking the focus it also allows for a sense of a forground and a background. This video has great use of panning and medium shot close ups, as well as medium long shots of the couples as they are arguing and displaying intense emotion. It also makes great use of the space, while the asian family is arguing and the mother runs to get the child theres a moment where all three depth of fields are being utilized; the father in the back ground, mother in the middle ground, and the child is in the foreground. This video captures all of the seven visual components; space, line, shape, color, tone, movement, and rythem. I just wanted to take a moment to comment on the color of this video. I think that the producers were genius to shoot this video in black and white, it adds so much emotion to the song as well as details in the shots that are visually pleasing. The camera is constantly moving the audience through to events and the feel of the song, the aerial views of the orchestras in the climax was the just the best perspective to highlight the climax of the song. This video really does display just about all of the camera shots we discussed in class aswell as provide lead room for the subjects as they move about the set. The camera uses alot of close ups that provide enough head room for the subjects placing the eyes two thirds in the shot. From seeing the video i have already mentioned that I know a crane was used for the aerial shot and a dolly was mostlikely used for the manual zoom of the camera, but I also appears that a steadicam was used. It is also possible that the camera was mounted on tracks to give the viewers the shot of a straight pan from left to right. Another way to get shots that was utilized in this video were tilts. Tilting down on the set to end in a medium close up. And one final type of shots that the video utilized are known as over the shoulder shots (dirty shots) and also clean shots of just John Legend as he is at the piano. Over all this video is great in capturing emotion and I hope that you enjoy this music video of John Legends, Ordinary People, as much as I did!
