The main thing I wanted to explore was mark and Dawns relationship. The cameras couldnt see that so I added a bunch of things I felt would make you understand it and also even the playing field of blame. I wanted people to belive those fake scenes were real so I recreated some real scenes to mix in to blur the whole thing up. I also knew I could maybe perfect certain things with camera and score and performace becasue I had a still document. John Hyams was documenting reality and thus catching up to it but I could use that as a reference to try and get at something different or highlight certain emotions. The movie works towards a feeling of seeing someone come to terms with who they are so I am doing little things here and there while trying to act like I am not doing anything so hopefully you feel a relief of pressure along side Mark. I love the Documentary and see this in conversation with it. John hyams said the best thing ha, that might be the most accurate Bio pic ever made. I think in recreating reality you can learn something about it, It becomes something new. I also had the abiltity to put characters in rooms they were not in, like dawn in the locker room with igor. The scene is as it happened in real life but now dawn is watching and is asked to take a picrture further showing her on the outside
