Documentary

The frame of the movie that I chose to analyze was when a former Sea World trainer is being interviewed. He is talking about what happened when they separated the baby whale from its mom. This is a very sad and intense scene. It depicts how horrible it was to watch the mom whale stay in the corner of the pool crying out for her baby. They were able to intensify this scene by how they shot it as well. They places the person being interviewed on the side of the screen. The slight angle they filmed it at depicted him having a conversation with the interviewer even though he was the only one talking. The closeness of the shot showed the importance of the subject. They also blurred out the background behind the person being interviewed. This causes the viewer to focus all of their attention on the person and what they are saying.
