Documentary Review: Invisible Children: Discover the Unseen



Synopsis:
3 boys go to Uganda in search of a story

What I liked:
-They way the presented the background information
-Mashed up the video log clips
-How shots change with sounds
-Narration
-collection of different stories that all relate to the same topic
-how they make each story personal
-how it is broken up in sections
-they way they make the different interviews seem like a conversation between all the people
-reflection at the end

What I learned:
-importance of good narration
-mashing things up looks good, makes more interesting
-using quick cuts that match the beat of background music is powerful
-bloopers can be effectively used, makes the video seem more real too
