INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Remember, you'll need to complete the project. Think about who, what, and where you'll shoot. Form a basic idea for a story and if you're having trouble, read short stories for inspiration. Once you have worked out what style of documentary you are going to make, analyze similar documentaries to identify conventions. Make sure you pay attention to the documentaries narrative structure, as this is where most amateur documentary filmmakers go wrong. This initial document should include a summary of the documentary, and the goal or purpose of the film. Outline your script, covering each major section but keeping the outline under 300 words. You will need to have a script, or you can't have a film. While thinking of an idea, make sure you write something attractive to your viewers. For example, If you're giving the script to someone who likes drama, add lots of drama. Comedy, add comedy, etc. From your outline identify priority scenes. Don't worry about following the storyboard perfectly. It's just a good idea to get your thoughts on paper and a great way to see if you can communicate an idea "visually" rather than needing the actors to verbally communicate the concept. The viewer is watching first and listening second. If you prefer a more structured approach, create a shot-by-shot list of all your camera work. Show what you have so far to friends, family, teachers, etc. Polish your work until you're ready to film. Brainstorm the worst things that could happen during making your documentary and how will you deal with these. Remember to look at both technical problems and story problems.

SUMMARY: Choose a subject -- what you want to make a film about. Watch documentaries. Write a treatment. Script your story idea. Prioritize scenes. Draw out a storyboard, illustrating the shots you plan to use. Get feedback. Be prepared.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The best way to relate to someone who's been experiencing poor physical health is to show you care by spending quality time with her. Distract her and make her feel supported rather than isolated by her illness. Try to: Make regular contact in-person and in other ways, such as writing to her or calling her. Don't avoid her out of awkwardness or discomfort. Do something fun with her while you're there, such as watching a favorite movie, going for a walk, or reading to her. Make her laugh. Don't be gloomy every time you go visit. Talk about shared, fun memories or experiences you had together. Don't try to make assumptions or read the other person's mind about what he needs. Check in on him to better understand how he is feeling. Ask about his feelings in the face of any diagnosis, whether terminal or not. You might ask, "Are you scared?" or "Are you feeling worried about what's going to happen next?" Ask about any experiences or sensations of discomfort. You might ask, "Are you comfortable? Can I get you another pillow?" Ask what he needs from you. For example, he may need help with paperwork, finances, cooking, or errands. If the other person has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, you might ask what his preferences are about end-of-life care. Inquire about treatment he is considering and how treatment is going. You might not know exactly what to say to someone who is sick or dying, but that's okay. Try to just be accepting of how she is feeling. Be willing to listen to tough or uncomfortable emotions, such as fear or anger. Let your friend be negative if she needs to be. Don't force her to be positive or look on the bright side. Don't try to fix the problem or offer medical advice. Avoid making vague statements like saying, "You're so strong." While this may be encouraging for some people, others may feel exhausted or invalidated. Don't be afraid to provide physical comfort to someone. Your reaction may be to avoid touching someone who is sick or dying, but touch can be very comforting to someone, especially if he is no longer able to talk. You can: Hug him. Hold his hand. Give him a back rub. Wet his lips with a sponge. Stroke his hair.

SUMMARY: Visit the person. Ask questions. Be accepting. Give a caring touch.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You might accumulate yellow matter between your teeth if you are not flossing regularly. Flossing can instantly remove a lot of the build-up between your teeth that causes discoloration. Make sure to make flossing part of your daily routine. Use a good amount of floss it should be about 18 inches in length. Grip the floss tightly in each hand, and move the floss up and down between each tooth. Curve the floss into a "C" shape, so that you are covering the entire surface. Use fresh sections of floss as you move around your mouth. Do at least six up and down movements on each tooth surface. Be gentle don't damage your gums. Whitening your teeth does not have to be expensive. You can use several items that you probably already have in your own home. One effective method is to make a paste out of baking soda and lemon juice. Baking soda can help balance the Ph levels in your mouth, and lemon juice is a natural sort of bleach. You will need a few teaspoons of baking soda and a small amount of lemon juice. Mix them together until you reach a paste-like consistency (partly liquid). Then use a toothbrush to spread the paste onto all of your teeth. Leave on for one minute, then rinse your mouth thoroughly with water. Be careful not to brush your teeth too hard with this paste, as you may produce some abrasion on enamel. Baking soda can also be used to create a scrub by combining it with salt and strawberries. The salt will act as sort of an exfoliant to scrub gunk from your teeth. Strawberries contain a lot of vitamin C, which is good for breaking down plaque. To make this scrub, you'll need two to three strawberries. Mash them together, and add a sprinkle of salt and a dime-sized amount of baking soda. Spread the scrub onto your teeth using a toothbrush. Let sit for five minutes, then rinse. Hydrogen peroxide is common in most homes, and is often used for minor scrapes or cuts. It can also be used as an inexpensive method for whitening your teeth. Simply swish a very small amount in your mouth for a few seconds, then spit it out. Then brush your teeth as you normally would. In addition to strawberries and lemons, there are other foods that can help remove the yellow from between your teeth. Try using an orange peel. Before you go to bed, rub the peel of an orange across your teeth for a few minutes. The vitamin C will help to break down the yellow. You should see results within a few weeks. If you don't want to make your own whitening products, there are many that you can buy. Look for a toothpaste that specifically promotes its whitening agents. Also, look for a brand that has been approved by the American Dental Association. Your local drugstore will have many options for you. Some of these methods will give you instantly whiter teeth. But for best results, you should get in the habit of taking steps to remove yellow from between your teeth. If you take regular steps to promote the health of your teeth, you will see more significant and longer lasting results.
