What is a Short Film and Short Documentary Analysis

By Wednesday, you should have completed an analysis of at least five short docs. You may use some from the lessons, but it is expected that you will find some new ones. One good website is Media That Matters. Here, you will find short doc about a variety of topics, such as Homecoming. I found this film on Media that Matters, but youtubed it so I could embed it here:

In researching your documentaries, you may want to consider how one-sided they are. Are docs that make it clear what their bias is more truthful than those who claim to be balanced?

The applications are located in the RMShared Area under Media Studies, Adobe Competition OR if you go to the Photography blog you find this posting with hyperlinks to the application and other forms.
