Be With You

Cancer patients are everywhere in our daily life.As a chronic disease,it has a very long treatment cycle as well as expensive costs.In the process of illness,the patients will suffer physical pain and also mental pressure.Most of current documentaries about cancer will show the agony of patients suffered from the process of treatments.Or these videos just present the affection between cancer patients and their families which describes the pain and difficult the most but less the optimistic and active attitude of the cancer patients.Documentary is the recording of images rather than words.It is necessary to get the agreement of subjects’ appearances so as to carry on the follow-up works.It’s very difficult for cancer patients to agree to be photographed,which requires the photographer to give enough humanistic care to the subjects and gain their trust.Apart from pre-filming,the works presented in the post also need to show the humanistic care so as to touch the audiences.This paper takes the documentary Be With You recorded by the writer as an instance to illustrate how the writer blends humanistic care into the process of filming and making documentaries in theme of cancer.
