Here is a self portrait- its actually HONEST, but notice how he uses first person effectively to make you see things a particular way?

by David Goold

This is a video produced for the homage assignment but it tells a story about a person and who they care about- which could be true or false..

This was shot as if it was in a dream- one way to communicate something that may or may not be true.

Literally a portrait. Is this story true??

David Holzman's Diary by Jim McBride

David Holzman's Diary from Pablo Useros on Vimeo.

This was famous at the time for seeming real but being a total fake. "Holzman, an earnest young Godard-hound, decides to film his life in order to understand it—and only succeeds in ruining it. As a voyeur, a gentle intruder into other people’s lives, he can’t understand that the filming makes his subjects feel self-conscious, or that “reality” is altered by the presence of his camera and his tape recorder and his lavalier mike, which he calls his “friends.”" From IFC website
