2/18

Today I was feeling quite lazy so I spent a large portion of my afternoon watching the Alaskan Bush People a survival show on the Discovery Channel. Although entertaining to watch, it was much different from our project guidelines. First off, they used many man-made items such as cooking utensils, many tarps, rope, and extensive hunting items. It also differed from ours in that it seemed very posed and fake at times. I think this is because it is an aired TV show, however I think this really detracted from the survival aspect of it. For our project, I hope to make the documentary as genuine as possible, regardless of how embarrassing or revealing this may be.
