1) 3 minute wonder Aaron
A child learns to walks again after his legs stop working. What i enjoyed about the documentary is the journey that Aaron has from not being able to move his legs to being able to walk within 3 weeks. what is also enjoy about the documentary is that the audience gets to see how a hospital works. the voice of the mother explaining what is happening gives the audience the connection between the mother and the son which is warming to see..
2)This is our youth extreme retro.
This documentary is about different graffiti techniques. What i liked about the documentary is that i got to learn about what Graffiti is and the artists background. What i also enjoyed about the documentary is that i got to learn about the Art style of Graffiti and how it is presented. I also enjoyed learning about how Graffiti is a distraction from the artists real life. I also enjoyed learning about the buisness side of Graffiti and how the aritist has made a career out of it.
3)Karl Pilkington - Nature
This documentary is about problems with the zoo and the animals in the zoo. I think the documentary had Bursts a comedy in the documentary as there wasnt a serious tone to the documentary. What I like about the documentary is the opinions and point of views expressed. this is interesting to the viewer. I also found interesting and funny the jokes he uses about sloths in the documentary as they are known for being lazy and that is the reason why they are seen in a zoo. i also enjoyed the angles put into the documentary and the cinematography that was used.
