This documentary was filmed on the streets of London, and the complete production took 1 month. It entails people showing what is in their pockets, trinkets and objects that are important to them, or show a bit about themselves or what they do.
I like the style of this documentary, because it isn't just interviewing people of what are in their pockets, the way it is put together is a lot more creative. It has the camera set up for a specific close up shot which shows the object and the hand of the person holding it. This is cut up with some of the subjects speaking about their object. Its a nice way to do the documentary, rather than the 'standard' documentary style.
I think that documentary's done in this style are a lot more interesting, I like the creative approach. Obviously some documentary's need a lot of talking because they need to convey information that can't all be explained through imagery. But for a nice simple idea like Pockets, the creative style works well, and I'll take that on board when thinking of ideas for our documentary in Liverpool.
