The First Two Weeks

So this is one of my favorite parts of the documentary, Grizzly Man, by Werner Herzog. One thing that Timothy Treadwell does well in this clip is not filter himself. He is not acting as if a camera is in front of him in the way that normal people would. I want to be able to capture Clara's and my behavior in the most organic way possible- one that really shows how we interact with each other, what we really look like after a few days in the woods,  and how we really act in different situations.

For these first two weeks I want to start filming. Clara and I won't be trekking out yet- I just want to capture our conversations. I want to get use to being filmed without being very aware of myself- appearance and behavior wise. Timothy Treadwell, in this clip and many others, was very comfortable in front of the camera. Perhaps some of these he never intended on showing anyone ( the clip above probably would not have made any final cuts), however eh could look into a camera and say those things. He is not constantly adjusting his clothes or messing with hair- things that would distract viewers and waste time while filming. I also would like to start working with Adobe Premiere and learning the ropes of that.

Yesterday I had my exit interview. The project begins now!
