THE LORD IS NOT ON TRIAL HERE TODAY - trailer from Jay Rosenstein on Vimeo.



I found a website that contains clips of documentaries and came across the documentary 'The Lord Is Not Trial Here Today' directed by Jay Rosenstein. I found the use of the archive footage in the form or a document looked exceptional in the way it was shot. I can see this being used in my documentary when explaining dopamine.

Ethical issues

Below is a mind map of ethical issues that could arise when filming our documentary.
Even though we are amateur documentaries, we are taking into account the ethical issues any documentary maker would.

My group and I came up with ethical suggestions about documentaries:
1) Documentaries shape the truth
2) Documentaries represent someone's version of the truth
3) Raw archive footage is more truthful than staged scenes
4) Documentaries are more truthful than fiction
5) Documentaries capture the truth
