JPD - Tumblr Posts
jimin's production diary was not a documentary, it was as labeled: a diary. he doesn't have the financial backing from the company that jungkook does because he didn't sign away his rights in his contract like jungkook seems to have done for bh to have more control.
Hi anon,
I'm assuming this was prompted by a comment I left earlier today on another blog's post.
Please allow me to point you at my review post of Jimin's Production Diary, (where I did mention that it was aptly titled as a Diary instead of a Documentary), if you're interested in a looooong review of JPD as a film.
I don't agree with blanket statements on the member's financial backing and rights. That is not information we are privy to and using it in arguments on any side is not going to lead to anything other inflammatory hot takes with little basis in logic.
But you do you I guess. I don't get any joy in those kind of discussions. Been there, done that. There is so much content in the kpop world to occupy our time, I'd rather spend it on things I find interesting.
okay then my question is what is your aversion to talking about the discrepancies of financial backing between jimin and jungkook from the company? why do you not want to discuss how jimin is the one who primarily filmed his production diary? he said from his mouth that evan is the one who would be in charge of the camera and set things up. it's tedious to comment on jimin's production output (from a shipper no less) and to not comment on the lack of company support in comparison to jungkook's output that has full company support. it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts on jungkook's documentary knowing full well how much money the company has put into his solo career.
Hello again anon,
Thank you for asking a question this time. As to why I have nothing further to discuss on this topic, it's simple. There's literally no way for us to accurately conclude what the root cause of the supposed differences in quality between the 'documentary' projects. It should be obvious but comparisons between JPD and JKs documentary are literally impossible right now. It hasn't even been released. But mostly because much of the evidence required for such an investigation will never be available to us as the audience and not participants in the production.
Allow me to further elaborate:
The widely-accepted process for such a question is to complete what's called a Root Cause Analysis (RCA). There are dozens of ways for approaching this, and one of the points of the RCA is to denote why any particular method was applied. It's not rare that multiple methods will be utilized for the same investigation either in cases where the Risk/Impact is high enough.
Here some diagrams of common methods:
In this instance, I'd likely start with the fishbone diagram and the 6Ms because of the scale of touchpoints. But like I said in my original response to these, there is no way for us to know the details regarding the materials, methods, manpower, etc.
Theorizing is one thing if it's an enjoyable activity but I personally find no joy in fanwars, let alone in investigations that will be inconclusive by design.
So there's your reason why I have nothing to say on the topic now. Maybe I'll have some thoughts to share if I do see JKs documentary and once I'm able to watch all of the others that have already been released but who knows when that will be.
(As a sidenote, calling ppl shippers is not the insult you seem to think it is. I have an odd viewpoint when it comes to shipping spaces due to my ace/aro-ness but I'd recommend you drop that tactic as it doesn't seem to have the impact you're looking for.)
