My future

July 15th, 2004 with 126 views

I think I have figured out something I might want to do as a career: make documentaries. I never did get to continue making that isaw documentary with my friend, Maui–actually, I haven’t really hung out with him since then. But anyway, the memory of the first time I held a camera came back when I saw this documentary done by Probe on Jasmine Trias. The whole interview thing is actually not my type; I’d much rather be an observer and record life as it happens. But yeah…I guess it wouldn’t hurt to take classes on this and minor in Communications.

I’m not yet entirely sure if this is what I want to do after college, but it’s at least something I can picture myself doing. I mean, I can’t imagine me in some stuffy office trying to come up with a statement that will make bad coffee sound like a good buy. Or go to Makati everyday in trendy office-wear (*shudder*) so I can show up for some meaningless job that involves being ordered around by some boss. What I love most about documentaries is that they can be as honest as the filmmaker wants it to be, and I don’t know about the others but I will show things as they are.

Well, I suppose it’s back to studying for Economics now. I don’t mind Eco much, except that graphs and diagrams are the death of me.

    Some sort of journalism would suit you - anyone can see that judging by how well you write! If you don’t like conducting interviews, then why not make documentaries, the fly-on-the-wall type where you observe what goes on in someone’s daily life?
