The documentary that I watched was “Into the Abyss”. I
paused the film at the section where Charles is being interviewed, about the
death of his brother Jeremy. I paused at the part where he is holding up the
two pictures of Jeremy, talking about them, and also showing mournful emotions.
The image is documentary-like (with the film being obviously, a documentary)
representing an event that had actually happened. The camera placed so that Charles
face is visible as well as the two pictures that he is showing. The background
is hugely significant to the impact of this scene as well. The greenery behind
Charles is beautiful, and there is also a playground. This kind of represents innocence
in the scene that is being filmed, showing a children’s playground along with
the beauty of nature. Each of these factors seems highly composed by the
producer, who wanted to make use of everything possible to make this
scene/picture as effective as possible. Everything visually at that moment accommodates
the mood and the topic at the time. It is a very powerful moment that is
captured, reflecting Charles’ emotion for his loss, supported by the setting
and mood of everything around him.
