As a digital film student, I have learned a lot about the different types of films that are created each year and what makes them successful and unsuccessful. With this bit of insight, I found myself having a strong interest and drive towards 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 happens in this world, that is effective and necessary. This year alone I have managed to compose a few documentary shorts myself and have found that I really enjoy it. I saw the film Food Inc, a film dedicated to exposing the realities of agricultural production. Directed by Robert Kenner, he managed to point out that the meat and vegetables produced by our type of enterprise 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 that was addressed 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 Hepatitis C. It focused on her struggle and determination to spread awareness that the people who run these factories are not careful and clean when they package meat which is found in our supermarkets. The film sums up a lot of things, but I think a lot of it comes down to the idea that we trust what is put on the shelves to buy, when in reality we shouldn't. We should question it and receive the truth. This film allowed me to create my own short documentary about the brand, "Great Value", sold in Wal-mart stores. I thought I... middle of paper ...... a video that reveals the truth behind Wal-Mart brands. Everyone needs to eat and finding a way to produce cheaply, but in large quantities, is difficult. Wal-mart is a great value and is at least a dollar cheaper than other brands, if not more. So when they put food on the table with a small amount of money, they resort to this brand. But the reality is that Wal-Mart pays its packaging workers an unaffordable wage so they can sell their products at these prices. Is it far? Is it far away that we don't know what is injected into chickens to fatten them up and get more meat? The chemicals then in turn are found in the meat we eat every day. A one and a half minute film versus a ninety-four minute film makes a big difference, but we were both able to spread awareness and knowledge to our audiences about these societies that are pretty much at the center of this world..
