Blog #4: Documentaries

For our documentary, Justine, Holly and I chose to do the 80s. Definitely a very fun decade; the music, movies, TV shows, the fashion! We were all really eager to get started.
We filmed everything at Justine's house. It didn't take us too long to tape things, after the first 15 minutes and when everyone finally stopped laughing after every line, filming went smoothly. I would say our documentary was a good mixture of us acting things out, and pictures with music and/or narration.
This was one project I liked researching about. I find almost everything about the 80s fascinating. Especially finding pictures about fashion, and listening to the music from then.

Music from Michael Jackson, Madonna, Joan Jett, and Queen; many different genres of music, and all the foundation of what music is like today.
It was cool to look back and see how outrageous the styles were back then. Specifically for the girls; the leggings, the fishnets, lace gloves, high ponytails, the colours! Justine sure had a fun time putting her outfit together.
But overall, the project was a blast to put together and see the finished project.


It was also really cool to see what else the rest of the class did. The 80's (I find) is mostly a pop culture decade. A lot of movies, TV shows, and music. I was surprised to see other groups cover politics, world events and sports.
