Highschool

I just wanted to go back and speak once more about the film highschool. I think it was one of the most interesting films we watched so far and it can also be one the weirdest. The film started off oddly in mid-scene of someone talking and then took off from that point. I always thought observational films where the types of films that we did observe but in a way where people had a role. In high school no one had any role they where just told to carry out there day like any other and thats exactly what they did or at least tried to do. The film went on to film every thing that would happen in the regular day of a highschool. From the guidance consular to the deans to the sex ed class. It was interesting how the filmmaker really just didn’t do anything to altar the environment in the school he really did try to blend in with everyone. What i wonder is how hard it is to actually not focus or look at the camera. If i was in that situation i feel like i wouldnt be able to help it but look towards the camera. I want to know how the students where able to keep there character because it really wasnt just a regular day in school thats for sure. I also feel like watching that film really helped us see how it is was back then to be in school. How supporting everyone was to actually help you go from high school to college. Now a days if you dont go to college no one really bugs you about it and if you do it isnt like youre going to get a big support. All in all i feel like the filmmaker really portrayed a high school correctly especially not getting involved and changing anything in it.
