The Elder

This short documentary film perfectly shows the style that my media partner and I wish to use for our short film. It is the perfect mixture of narrative and short clips and photos, Because the documentary is about the subjects life their voice is played throughout all but one part of the video, in that part there is no sound so the audience can understand what the subject is talking about, there's also minimal music/other sounds.
The documentary is similar to the one that we want to do because it focuses on a specific time in the subjects life, his life in Italy. While obviously we focus on sixth form. Ultimately what our final video will consist of is short clips e.g. interviews, photos and narratives. For example in our introduction i will narrate about Lucy and she will narrate about me, whereas our theme of friendship will have the interviews play, but there will also be moments that music that matches the mood play over it.
The thing that has the most impact on the audience is the emotion behind the subjects voice, especially at the end when he starts to talk about having to leave johnny because he cant be a Mormon and be with johnny, so he is torn between his love for johnny and his love for god.
