Capturing The Friedmans

1) The pre-production activities consist on images like videos or photos/pictures; the research of the people (witnesses), such as the family, the lawyer Peter Pannaro, or the police, and the necessary materials/elements.

2) The reality is showed by the movie footage; the main characters were filmed at their houses or during important moments (example: Jesse in the jury).

3) While, basically, the post-production ones were about interviews which only focused on them.
- Jump cuts and non-diagetic sounds are present
- Court room with sounds over

4) All the lots opinions and points of views in the movie produce a message and ideas to the audience which mean the doubts about what happen, and that still we don't know if they were guilty or not.

Production Journal


New and final pitch by Santos Espina Mairal, Honorio Felipe Oleksuk and Ramiro Villegas

What are we doing?

Our documentary is going to be about the middle class paranoia which has been created due to the crime in the streets of Capital/Quimes (to de decided upon further discussion): is it a real fear? Is it mere fiction? We are going to explore the concerns of the public involved in this situation and try to expose what this dilemma is about for real.

Why are we doing it?

We strongly feel this problematic situation is one which is talked about thoroughly, but from which no one knows much. Also, we think that it is a good idea to inform a wider public about the present situation of insecurity and the panic it creates, although this remains in the silence or in inconclusive claims.

How are we going to do it?

We are going to transmit the atmosphere of fear which is present in this section of society nowadays, in the most realistic-crude way as possible, gathering accessible evidence and concise facts to support our ideas and showing by filming techniques the actual situation we are trying to express.

Ramiro talked to a local cop, he agreed to be interviewed.
There was an advance on the discussion of shots. Probable shooting of people in the street, asking if they feel insecure.
Fade in of a long tracking shot of the fences, shot from a moving car. Momentary superimpositions of still shots of security cameras.
