Response to Introduction to Documentary

The reading gives me a new idea on looking at the Documentary film.With the word "film", people normally cares about the images and the contents rather than the sounds that comply with the images. "Expository documentaries rely heavily on an informing logic carried by the spoken words". Suddenlu, it twists the way and angle that we are seeing a documentary piece. It is no longer about the acting, but the immediacy and the presence of the action. With this I realize, isn't advertisement a little documentary? Yes, the voice with the introduction is more important and overreaching than the content itself. No, it is acting and contains lots of arrangments over the actions. How does advertisement fits into the content then?


The documentary film I share here is about a rumor that two young men started. Czech people are crazy about supermarket. So the two men started a supermarket called Czech Dream. Everybody though it was real with all the outfits and planning. On the opening day, people were rushing to the supermarket, but they realized it was a joke. The documentary contains the components of interviewing, observations, and the real effect that happens in front of the camera, which it is worth watching. It is just fascinating,
