Cinéma Vérité

"OK, we're rolling"........Welcome to my blog. I have a lot to say, but, for now, I only want to say a little. The blogosphere is big. I am wee. Internet information is vast, a constantly and continuously vaccillating vessal of content, both cogent and corrupt. What I write here is but wormseed, a small bit of anthelmintic antidote to any portion of parasitic or poison prose posted elsewhere. What I write will be right. Correct. A fact. The truth.

"What you see is what you get," or, in nerdish, "WYSIWYG." "Cinéma Vérité" is French for "true film," a form of documentary moviemaking where you ask questions first, shoot later. And shoot. And shoot. Hopefully something interesting happens. Hopefully you were shooting. Hopefully something you shot is interesting enough that you are still convinced enough others will also be interested enough in enough of what interests you, that you do not say "Enough!," but shoot more and more and more until you really do have enough even though it never ever really seems to be enough. But you sure shot a lot. That is why I made up a joke in film school that "cinema verite" was an international translation for "waste film."

Documentary Filmmaking and Internet Blogging have a lot in common. [two tracts of texts and talents]. I wrote that neat alliteration but could not make it work spliced against the edit of word shots and sentence scenes before. Now I'm into something new. This blog is about documentary film but is also a documentary blog about my own experience with blogging. 'Blogumentary' and 'Docublog' google hit with links galore. My surname is "DeCew," pronounced "dee cue," ('Dairy Queen,' I've heard it), with "DQ" the common family abbreviate. "dqblog" was taken on blogspot by a DramaQueen. I'm calling this fontfilm "doqublog" which must always be written in lower case for the proper graphic effect. The link I made to it here was a google search with no results. Will the link click alway be empty or eventually find itself? Time will tell.

"doqublog" - like I said, always lowercase, even at the beginning of a line, and nothing at all to do with e.e. cummings - is pronounced just like "DocuBlog" but with much less pretention and the smallest bit of sneeze in the middle, i.e. soften the hard consonents and put a double-u sound after the 'u.' This is the title. doqublog. [hard-cut to black or other color scheme]
