Documentary Review: Unmistaken Child
About Tibetan Buddhist Monk, Tenzin Zopa, and his search for the child who is the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama
What I liked:
-nice breaks where viewer is just watching actions rather than hearing an interview
- The repeating patterns of similar shots
-the shots of facial expression
What I learned:
-You don't always need words to progress the plot
-background music sets the tone of scene
-make sure to give some sort of background so the viewer knows the context
-dont assume they know as much as you do
