Good documentaries

What makes a good documentary?

This past week we watched many documentaries. The elements that I found the most interesting were the good camera work, music, and also when there was not too much talking. I also liked when the documentary focused more on the person who you are doing the documentary on rather that other related subjects.

Rize had an interesting subject matter. I liked the dancing, music, and groups (especially the clowns). The dancing was similar to voguing which is a type of dance that I like.

The rest of the documentaries were different but interesting as well. Born into Brothels had good camera work although the story was sort of sad. The documentary that we saw at the Fabric Workshop about the Korean artist was interesting because it showed all of his art and it also had nice film work.

Other documentaries, however, were not as interesting because there was too much talking, not good camera work, no music, and a boring subject matter.
