"Documentary films constitute a broad category of nonfictional motion pictures intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction or maintaining a historical record."
For my documentary short film, I'd like to explore someone's world for a brief amount of time. I specifically want to do this by exploring their bedroom and having them explain their favorite things about it and about themselves.
This documentary series would be an expository one. I will interview the subjects, but edit the footage so that it seems like they are just speaking to the viewer.
This has been done before, but what would make my film different would be the fact that it will not focus on personal style or aesthetic as much as it will focus on stories and more of an interview-pretending-to-be-a-room-tour. The interviewee's words will be accompanied by visions of the objects and images they choose to surround themselves with in their most comfortable and safest of spaces. I do not want this to be a forceful exploration, but rather one where the subject is inviting the viewer in.
