As a student of digital cinema, I learned a lot about the different types of films created each year and what makes them successful or unsuccessful. Through this insight, I discovered that I have a strong interest and passion for documentary films. I find them meaningful and more productive than other types of films. Some documentaries are created to expose the reality of the world as it is, and I think with everything that is happening in this world, it is effective and necessary. It wasn't until this year that I was able to compose a few short documentaries myself, and I discovered that I really loved it. I watched the film Food Inc, a film dedicated to exposing the reality of agricultural production. Led by Robert Kenner, it successfully pointed out that the meat and vegetables produced by our type of business are unhealthy and harmful to the environment. I found it to be a very inspiring and informative film that allowed me to think critically about what I buy. The information covered and exposed helped me learn more about the food industry and how it works. They also included a segment from the film about a woman who lost her son to E coli. This centered on his struggle and determination to raise awareness that the people who run these factories are not careful and are not clean when they package the meat that is in our supermarkets. The film sums up a lot of aspects, but I think a lot of it has to do with this idea that we trust what's put on the shelves so we can buy it, when in reality we shouldn't TO DO. We should question it and get the truth. This film allowed me to create my own short documentary on the “Great Value” brand sold in Wal-Mart stores. I thought I... in the middle of paper ......te a video that reveals the truth behind Wal-Mart brands. Everyone needs to eat and it is difficult to find a method to produce cheaply but in abundance. Wal-Mart has a great value that is at least a dollar cheaper than other brands, if not more. So when they put food on the table with little money, they resort to this brand. But the reality is that Wal-Mart pays its packaging workers unbearable wages so that they can sell their products at these prices. Is it far? Do we not really know what is injected into chickens to make them bigger and get more meat? The chemicals then end up in the meat we eat every day. A one and a half minute film versus a ninety-four minute film is a big difference, but we were both able to raise awareness and inform our audience about these companies that are pretty much at the center of this world..
