If you're serious about doing documentary, you're going to have to come to grips with reality problems.
The first of these is that camera doesn't lie. It is actually telling truth neither. As film is just molecular structure, which is changed under the influence of light rays. And it's author who gives story and meaning to it.
You should prepare to meet skepticism and doubts from the side of viewers, as not everything that's filmed is a 100% truth. So your mission is to persuade people in your vision of the situation. If you want to do it, there should be no gap between you and audience. Some part of viewers believe just in shaky- cam, as this is an effect, which you during unexpected and fast shooting. But that doesn't mean you should do it every time, one can get a great stable quality picture and sound even in extreme situation.
Actually, there is no reality captured on the film. It's hard to understand, but that's true. These are just pixels, but with human imagination and creativity they transform into something enormous and important.
So, as we can see, reality is not enough. On the film reality is nothing... We are obliged to document as well as to record.
