Pockets

Pockets.
I think this is my favourite documentary that we watched in the seminar. Its style and subject are both appealing to me as a viewer and inspiring as a filmmaker.
I really enjoyed the way that it was like snapshots. Of a place, of people, their minds and lives. It was rapid and quick fire in a sense as it gave you a lot of information. However it was edited together in a way that the pace was sedate and pleasant to watch, you didn’t feel like you were being bombarded by information. The information was effectively conveyed in a way which gave us a lot of it but in a way that wasn’t too much for the viewer to comprehend.
It was just a really nice piece. Stylistically it looked great. It was soft and bright which really fitted the subject matter well. It wasn’t a dark or brooding piece. I wouldn’t go as far as to say it was fun but it had lightness to it. Still it was a broad piece. Thought provoking. I saw it as a picture into people’s minds and lives rather than just simply their pockets. It was like a little window into people’s minds. Therefore it helps you see the wider world in a different way. It was like a little pause in the hustle and bustle of the day to stop and think. I think it was a really lovely piece of work that was mostly positive. I think it’s something we are going to aim for tone wise. We all enjoyed this documentary immensely
