Visual Storytelling

In the movies, the camera work that we see provides a more in-depth experience. The in class documentary we are watching uses these techniques to help develop the story. There are a lot of close up moments when it seems that the director is trying to give a better view on how that person sees the world or how people view them. It almost seems to bring you a little more up close and personal. Another shot we see in this movie is of shots of things that we see the person wishes that they can do but cant. For instance, we see Robert in the school your watch the kids play a game or the guy who was injured in a motorcycle accident and stares at the bike. This is a dramatic shot because its almost like you see a before and after of how his life changed so fast because one thing he was ale to do, is now gone forever.
