This documentary does not discriminate between objects, doesn’t hide, cheat or lie. Instead, it shows people and events as they are. In other words, it reproduces what it sees in details, directly. What is different about this documentary are the angles it chooses, the way the plans are framed and the particular order the sequences will be shown.
The point of view of the audience is adopted so that they form their own opinion about what they see. For example, here is a typical sequence about an interview with a yoga teacher.
John has been teaching yoga for the past six years. He teaches here and there in the Quebec region. We met him after one of his class where about twenty students participated.
Interview: - What does success means to you? - How did you come to yoga? - What does “awakening” means to you? Where did you learn to teach yoga? - What is the path you followed? - In your daily basis, how does your practice transpire? - Can we do two, three Sun Salutation together? - How about doing something that you have never done before?
Sun salutations: One, two, three Sun salutations together with the teacher.Example of daily life: We discover a new thing together. The camera goes where the teacher wants us to go (outside most likely) as we are transported in his/her daily life. There is movement, spontaneity, and discovery.
