Documentary on Copyright

I watched a documentary over the weekend called "Rip! A Remix Manifesto" on copy right in the United States and how that affects peoples' lives. I watched it for several reasons: to watch how a documentary is edited, to see how the story is organized, to learn about copy right in movies and how that might affect me, and for entertainment.

This already has hit me with some questions...

How can I make a documentary that's interesting to other people?
Why will they watch my documentary?
What makes me want to watch a documentary?

Usually it is because I'm interested in the subject or because I want to hear an opinion. I'll need to think about how I'm going to make my own documentary appealing to others. This will be a bit different, however, since this is not an opinionated movie and simple a statement of facts and information about City Charter High School.

This leads me to another question...

How am I going to get this out there for people to see?

Through DVD's? Mailing list? Online resource?
I'll have to find that out.

  1. YouTube is a great resource, as long as it doesn't feature images of students from school.
