LOOK OUT… (not really)

Today's article will be about the upcoming Academy Awards!!!! (not really that exciting)
If you are thinking about joining the film industry you may want to take notes! (not really)
-maybe a mental note-
In the past I talked about who the voters are but now I'm talking about how the voters choose the winners. There are very specific things that voters look for in order to determine the winners.
One voter says "I look for quality and originality, and how it moves me emotionally and as an artist"
So it is important if you are ever thinking about making it into the Oscars try to develop your very own voice. Take notes of opinion but ultimately do what makes you happy. At all costs get your own personal story across to the big screen.
If you're into acting or want to direct your actors well take this into note "I look for someone that doesn't have a lot of artifice," and also this "If a performance is great but the movie doesn't resonate, that will sometimes detract."

Today's blog will about the challenges of making a documentary film. Also on how some people may interpret the films wrongly. The article basically talks about how violence can make a successful documentary film. Which I don't want to believe is try but I have noticed many of the documentaries people talk about have some element of violence. In general I prefer documentaries about education and health. Though as a director what do you believe is the key to making a documentary. In my opinion it doesn't matter what the subject is. As long as the person gets their message across to the viewer.

I think it's quite sad that documentary films are budgeted poorly. Most of them teach you very vital things in the world around us. As a consumer who would you like to have more of a budget, education films or entertainment films? It's interesting to read about such things like this because documentaries are very competitive. This will be a great challenge for upcoming filmmakers.
