This documentary...

...thing is weird. I've never spent so much time with an interview subject in the past and I'm not sure what to think about it. It definitely colors your perception of the piece and I guess that's one of the main differences between documentary and straight journalism. But I feel like my project coordinator is looking for a mix between the two and that's tough. It's hard to stay objective about the piece now because my subject and I are becoming friends and I don't want to make something that I feel he wouldn't approve of. I'm sure, left to my own devices, I would make something good that he would think did him justice. I just don't know if my editor is going to feel that way or not. It's a rock and hard place kind of deal. Weird. I don't like that feeling. I guess I'm going to have to fight a bit for this one.
