Documentary Assignment


It’s a Girl:

After watching the documentary, I decided to pause it at a point when Mitu was with one of her daughters. It was a close-up. The camera is positioned at a level angle. The image was clear on Mitu’s face, but one of her daughters was in the middle of the frame and she was blurred. You could also see her other daughter in the background, and she was also blurred. There was a juxtaposition in this shot. Mitu was in the last third of the frame and completely focused on one of her daughters who was exactly in the middle. The frame is definitely documentary-like. The background is completely blurred, as well as the foreground. The only part that is not blurred is Mitu’s face. This still frame definitely tells a story. Where I paused it, Mitu is smiling at her daughter. Her daughter is not only in the center of the frame, but in the center of Mitu’s attention. You can see the love that Mitu has for her daughter just by looking at her smile at her.
