Documentary film making.

   Documantary film making is a special and interesting way to express your thoughts. This, separate from average movie making, art allows you to extend the borders of expression of your opinion and influence peoples' minds. You can do that, because visual information is the most powerful and important for people. 80% of information from outside world comes to us through our eyes, so there is no better confirmation for fact than to see it. That's what people in this industry are doing.
   First of all, you have to prepare the material and idea you want to reflect in your movie. After, you gather crew: operator, sound person, and you have the role of director. But usually in this case people don't feel themselves totally comfortable, as big amount of people makes them nervous. So, you can use a handy camera for bigger comfort for the person you're shooting. After you've shot the material, it's time to combine your video in one story. Even with nowadays technology it's a really hard and laboriuos process, as you'd better have flashbacks not to make the story linear. Also, you might add some lie just in the way of expression, but leaving the fact unchanged. Besides, all documentary filmmakers are under a big risk, as not everybody wants to be in the movie, which shows the truth. But exactly in risk lies a great value of this job.
   As you see, documantary film making is something more than average movie. It's reflection of reality, where we have real emotions and real life...
