Documentary Director Project

Pick a documentary director of choice. Please no duplicates. Check with your classmates.
Here are some examples:
Documentary Film Directors (loads of examples)
Ken Burns
Michael Moore
Michael Apted
Errol Morris
Marin Scorsese
D.A. Pennebaker
Chris Hegedus
Jonathan Demme
David Lachapelle and more....


After you have picked your director you will research and create a blog featuring links to sample trailers, resource links, and photos. You should talk about the director and how he/she became a documentary filmmaker, and projects/film. You can also include excerpts from interviews, etc.
You will "present" your director/blog in class--so be prepared to talk about him/her. Be informed!

If you want an A, I suggest you don't leave this project until the last minute. You can work on it in class on Monday, but you should also work on it this weekend.
These will be graded on Tuesday. Good luck!
