Research: Little Brother's Watching You



This documentary follows a young boy who misses his older brother. He soon discovers that through modern technology, there are easy ways to bridge the gap between friends.










The above clip is a documentary in it's entirety. Below are the positives and negatives of the production:


- Not actually produced for TV (it's a WebDoc).
- At 2:56, it's a good example of a 'short'



+ At 2:56, it packs a heart-warming impact
+ The lighting is consistently excellent throughout having been edited and colour graded the Mac software, Final Cut Pro
+ It follows the journey of a single person & allows us to connect with the character through cutaways of him doing every day activities such as playing
+ Opening montage works well.
+ The editing is seamless.
+ Simplicity is one of the documentary's greatest strengths.
+ The narrative is clearly structured so that we see a sad story: an issue, which is then overcome and finally a happy ending; we could utilise this structure in our own production.
