We still didn't know what our documentary was going to look like so I decided to do some research on various documentaries to see how they look and whether we could incorporate any of their techniques into our own film.
KING OF KONG:
King of Kong is a documantary about two competitors fighting for the top spot of well loved game Donkey Kong. We are first introduced to the "evil" Bill Mitchell, who has been leader and owner of the Donkey Kong high score for 20 years. On the other hand we also have "goodie" Steve Wiebe determined to try to beat Mitchell and his high score. I like the editing in this film as it really highlights the competitive nature of the two characters. This element can't be applied to our documentary but i do like the fact that they use stats and bar charts to show the journey of the competition.
EVERYTHING IS INCREDIBLE:
Ali really liked the beginning of this documentary and how it starts with the amazing establishing shots and voiceover played over a shot of the mans feet. The sped up establishing shots gave us an idea for our film as it would be a good way of showing the passing of time, this we might encorporate in our own film. Also the voiceover was really good as we hear the person being interviewed before we actually see them which i think will also work very well in our documentary.
WIKILEAKS:
I liked the fact that with the wikileaks documentary the news reports talk about what is happening in the documentary which I think would be a good at the start of our film to highlight the issue of addiction.
