Going Clear (film)

Work Plan

Most of the sources I found on the OneSearch Library database primarily revolved around dissecting the film and exploring how it blurs and complicates the relationship between art and commerce. Since there isn't a Themes section, I could add what these journals have said on Exit through the Gift Shop.

The Production and Review sections are also sparse, so I may be able to add to those. Production might be difficult to add to though considering Banksy's secretive nature. There isn't any negative Reviews listed under the Review section, so I could add some differing opinions on the film.

Other potential avenues could be the responses to the film from the street art community, and some information on what has happened to the film's "original visionary" (Thierry Guetta) since the events of the film.


 * Potential Ideas
 * Synopsis
 * Clean it up. Put into active voice. Remove extraneous details.
 * Put in detail that the film splices interviews of Banksy with a voice modulator and a blurred face.
 * Reviews
 * include negative thoughts on the film.
 * Separate Release/Reception and include Box Office/Marketing details into Release.
 * Response from street art community
 * Themes explored in film backed by scholarly journals

Bibliography


 * "Media Review: A Banksy Film. Exit through the Gift Shop"
 * in-depth review of Exit through the Gift Shop that explores the relationship between commerce and art -- particularly in regards to graffiti.
 * "Spray-Painting the Town Gold: Art vs. Commerce in "Exit Through the Gift Shop"
 * another analysis of the themes in Exit through the Gift Shop. Focuses primarily on what happens when a subversive art becomes mainstream.
 * "The Unreliable Narrator in Documentary"
 * essay that explores how the effects of the unreliable narrator in documentaries differs from in fiction. There are two modern documentaries that it dissects. Laura Poitras's The Oath and Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop.
 * May not be as helpful as the former two sources, but it could be useful.
 * "Exit With Uncertainty: Documentary Film and Experiencing Not Knowing"
 * examines the meta-nature of Exit through the Gift Shop and how it blends the line between truth/reality and fiction.
 * "Criminals and Culture Makers"
 * talks about how graffiti gave an opportunity to inner-city artists to "show they were 'special'" in an oppressive environment. It contains personal experiences of the author in interacting with the two film-makers of Exit through the Gift Shop (Thierry Guetta and Banksy).
