The topic that I want to talk about is Documentary Film.

Why? Because that's what we've been studying all these months! Non-fiction films, everything has to be taken from reality. At the beginning, it seemed boring and closer to journalism, which we don't like at all. But, as time passed by and we learned more about the “magic” of documentary, I realized that I like it, I like to go and look for what I want to film outside, to learn how to find emotionality in the people you film, how to tell the story in a way that can be easily understood and also making it beautifully. It may sound strange, but I love to find myself in front of a computer, not knowing how to make the story, how to mix different shots and sounds, where to put the music, and start giving sense to all what I'm going to show to other people. That's the challenge, making people not to get bored by watching the reality they see everyday, trying to make it dynamic and full of sense and wonders, to be able to see the meaning under everything and think about what's happening around. Not to make a speech using the film, but to tell a story using your point of view. Another way of making cinema, another beautiful way of making cinema.
