For my next project I'm going to dig into the work of Ken Burns; the famous documentary maker known for his multiple-hour-long films such as The Civil War, The National Parks and The War. I've always been very fascinated by the way he approaches history and presents it in his films, which I think raises some interesting questions on what it really means to capture history. I'm not sure yet exactly how I'm going to structure the video because I want to explore both the more academic/philosophical issue of capturing history as well as the more specific methods Ken Burns uses in his films. Anyways, I have a day off tomorrow so enough time to binge-watch his work and figure it out :)
