ASSIGNMENT
1) Write a short paragraph about what worked well for this documentary and why. Think of the A Roll, B Roll, Music, Text, Style of the interview.
2) Was there something that did not work well for you? What was this, list and describe why.
3) In class we are learning about the 'Editing' process, can you describe something you noticed in this film in regards to the editing. Was it effective? Why or Why not?
4) Would you recommend this film to someone else?
I think that everything worked well with each other because it kept me interested the whole 6 minutes. The music was a good choice it was calm smooth and relaxing. The way the pictures flowed with the interview was great. The person that was being interview was great at making you want to watch.
ReplyDeleteEverything worked well to me, and I can't explain why.
I think they did a great job at editing the movie.
Yes i would
The guy was an expert on the John F. Kennedy assassination. He talks about an umbrella man. he was the person who was involved the assassination but was not the one who killed John F. Kennedy. Also, John F. Kennedy assassination was like being under a microscope.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like the video because the guy was kinda weird.
i think the video was really well edited the way he looked in the camera it looked like he was really talking to you.
no i would not recommend the the film because it was boring.

I think the way the documentary worked out was good he got his point across and i liked the way they had the camera switching back and forth wit h the dude holding the umbrella and the guy doing the interview.it wasn't anything that didn't work for me in this documentary.yes i would recommend this for somebody else because it is a good documentary.
ReplyDelete1. I thought it was amusing how they filmed it because the Umberalla man was there holding his black umberalla for kennndy. The music and text was good and the sound of the music was great cause the man talked clearly and nice and clear. the style of the interview was good cause how they putted everything together.
ReplyDelete2. Nope everything was great and the film was all in good order.
3. they putted some pictuers in the film to show what were they talking about in the film like how the man spy the black man in the umberalla.
4. yes i will recommend this film to someone else.
I think it worked well because it make me want to continue watching it. The music was relaxing and match the story/documentary. Also, i think it was well done how the guy was looking in the camera.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend this film for someone else because i think it's interesting.
this film worked well ; the text of the film was great; and the music sounded great and they covered alot of questions for the man to talk about the man in the black umberalla . i mostly like how he was speaking, loud, nicely, and clear. Everything Worked well for me. How the begginging started with a man with a black umberalla and was walking and then they get right to the main idea. Yes i would recommend this to someone else cause it was an intersting thing about Mr.Kenndy, and the compares.
ReplyDeleteI think everything in this film is well done because of the relaxing music and how the story was told. In this film, it was cool how the person that was being interview is not always in the same place of the camera. And yes I would recommend this film to someone else to watch because I just think it's a great story.
ReplyDeletewhat i think worked for the documentary was the fact that it wasn't super long and that it was interesting, what i think also worked well was the way that it was shot, the b roll and cutaways over the parts where the interview parts were were pretty good and i liked how the whole thing was done
ReplyDelete1)I think the old fashioned type story line was great for the film.And how it began as a small tail about the umberella man and how it unravelled as just a guy making a protest.I think this type of filming is brilliant because when there are things in a film that unravels as you watch he viewers gain a lot more interest as they watch.
ReplyDelete2)There was not really nothing i didnt like about this film i think the a roll and b roll was pritty straight forward.I liked the way that he old man was the perfect person to interview.Almost as if they pick just a random man from that time.The soft playing music in the back ground was also a good addition to the film
3)This film helped me a lot. Because it shows good clips,very good follow up questions and they stayed on topic through out the film.I also noticed that the time of the video was very effective because it was short and it was a questionable time in history that many remember.
4)YES I WILL =).
