This is a wiki on how to create a good documentary film. As our group is doing the Mormon Messages video, we've looking up tips on elements of a good film.
Well, there's snow on the mountains finally. I am one of the few people who smiles at the sight of white. I have this weird obsession with Antarctica and I want to say how greatly I adore this film I watched the other day. If you have any interest in cold places as I do, I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful film by Werner Herzog (director of Grizzly Man). Its not a simple Planet Earth documentary, but examines why all of these different people end up at the bottom of the world. And some of the under ice scuba diving is simply breathtaking. FYI, it's on instant view on netflix.
I highly suggest watching this clip. It's food for thought if nothing else--what are the flaws of our educational system, what are the consequences of those flaws, and how can we fix it?
Hey Kristen, this guy writes music for children and also political songs. This song he wrote is along those same lines. You might be interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dAujuqCo7s
This is site that contains documentaries on the life of members of the Church. This was contest put on by BYU. I feel like this is the precursor to the churches campaign "I am a Mormon." There are some great films here.
