1. So far, the progress we have made with our documentary, is making connection with people we can either interview or use for information. I've spoken with one of my wrestling coaches and he promised to talk with a guy he works with who announces MMA fights. I fugure he may know of fighters who have come from the background we need to have in our film. Ive also found a couple gyms around the city were I can contact the coaches and hopefully get an interview from one of them. Progress is slow but steady.

2. I gained insightful advice after reading this article. I feel like it gives the reader basic fundamentals, or basic guideline material to help develop a strong documentary

I. Truthfully, Nate and I have hardly made any progress with our documentary. We're still undecided about our topic and how we are going to portray our idea.

How we are going to do that, I'm not quite sure.

II. After reading the article I realized that because a film may be called a documentary, does not mean it prtrays "reality." I was surprised to find out that as an audience, we don't realize how much we are tricked or fooled by a simple film, or even care that it is happening to us. Now that I have the power to make a film, I am excited to use this perception of "reality" to twist and mold my ideas through film
