Before I began working on my documentary I never really thought about the similarities between fictional film making and documentary but realizing just how similar the two are has given me a whole new perspective on story and characters. As a writer before anything else this sudden realization that documentary film making is about weaving a narrative tapestry using real people to tell your story has not only given me a stronger desire to work on documentaries but given me a point of view that will help me create believable characters for the stories I'm likely to write in the near future.
I think most of the documentaries I enjoy are about people and when it comes to fictional films my biggest interest is characters. Even when I write sci-fi with all this incredible technology I want to write interesting, human characters and documentary film making and the process that goes into has helped me a great deal by changing my own thought process. I cant wait to get cracking on my short film for BA1 Story.
