I just started reading “Doing Documentary Work” and it is eye opening in discovering how creating a documentary that is actual instead of what one brings to a table is nearly impossible. We come with our prejudgments (consciously or subconsciously) on almost any subject matter before we roll a camera and therefore how can we set those aside to try to shoot the actual. Even if we had that ability there are certain words and phrases that will be edited in and out that will build a story in one or the other direction. The subject matter might act differently when an outside force (you) suddenly appear and try to give you the information you want or do the complete opposite. Therefore if the documentary is truly to be about the actual then having two people with opposite perspectives and opinions work together is the only real solution.
