A group of five young women set out to make a short documentary to discuss the issue of male body image. We interviewed men on the subjects of how and why and discovered some interesting opinions. Perhaps the project was doomed to fail simply because men who are uncomfortable with their appearances do not want to appear on camera and so we will never hear their side of the story? But, with that in mind, we think that the final product is quite interesting. What do you think?
This was a final project for a film module I took. What we made had to reflect what we'd learned from other film types such as fiction, documentary and experimental. In addition to this, our project came with restrictions. All group members had to work in roles they had not done before, we were not allowed to show faces, audio and sound could not match clips, Anja was the only person allowed to film at any time and it had to contain 113 shots.
