Homecoming :a film by Beyonce


Notes from the film-2019 -shes had quite a long career so her experiences are more realistic-wanted to make her coachella performance include her culture -had 5 months of long rehearsal to get it to how she wanted -wanted iit to be the highlight of peoples years as she remembers that concerts when she was young made her year -felt equal with her backup dancers as they were all exhausted with the long hours -limited her diet after giving birth as she wanted to get straight back into her career and being able to perform -the dancers all felt honoured to be part of her team -she was the first black woman headliner -she said that she wanted to make something that will live beyond her -her family is her santuary but  when with her team whilst practicing she felt like she was with her family
Who made it
Beyonce and Ed Burke directed it
Purpose
celebration of her career and her culture
Reviews
Roger Ebert-It captures a legendary performer at the peak of her powers and translates the energy of the event into cinematic terms ,whilst allowing viewers to fully appreciate all the hard work that went into something that looks so effortless 
Conclusions for my EPQ
This is useful for finding information about Beyonce herself however for my EPQ i don't think it that useful as it doesn't really include experiences of fame ,its more focused around one performance and the rehearsal process

Notes from watching- 2022-shes had a long career and lots of experience directed by Amanda micheli the documentary has a mix of her performing and talking rather than just her shows it shows rehersals does show her acheivements but also shows times where she hasnt won awards -wants to show the world who she is -wants to represent all of the things that mtter to her -loves to escape to the musical world -wanted to use the superbowl to share with her community -she says that no matter what she acheives her personal life aways overshadows them in the media -she felt like she wasnt good enough when she was younger -wanted to quit the industry many times -feels depressed sometimes when she has to spend time away from the kids -likes to give subtle messages to her audience -has always been compared to ideal bodies -'its hard to continue when people think youre a joke' -she felt like shed let everyone down when she didnt win the golden globe -proud that she can hold things together wi

Synthesising my research

 In many of the documentaries there is a similarity of experiencing mental health issues when famous,for some this was because of being overwhelmed where as some it was because of bullying.Some celebrities that had similar experiences include Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato as both of them were young stars who turned to drugs and alcohol to try and cope but have both come out of it.
