Degrees of Seperation. My edit.

I have been reading a magazine article about engagement of the audience entitled, 'point of view'. The bit that interested me was the discussion of 'subjectivity' . We have shots of Mark Herbert talking almost directly at camera.

I think after reading the article it is clear that when the subject looks directly at camera it seems more personal.

I intend to use this for effect in my film. In my opening montage I will have some of the characters talk to the camera. Coupled with his dialogue, the shots of Hussain will aim to shock the audience in order to keep them interested for the rest of the doc.

Here Hussain looks directly at camera and says "Its crap, its going to be crap, youre just going to die crap". This was taken out of context for the purposes of shocking the viewer and served as a memorable quote which inspired the title of the documentary.

To have an acclaimed producer speaking almost directly to camera helps to show a more personal point of view. Mark is extremely informative in his answer and I feel this is best as my documentary serves to educate as well as entertain.
