Movie Image Video Analysing (5)

SKIN from Tom Gould on Vimeo.

The video I found from website called Vimeo Staff Picks.
It is a powerful video that talked about a member of Might Mongrel Mob which is the biggest gang in New Zealand.

The video is talking about a man's life track. The first part is about who he was and how he related to Mongrel Mob. The rest of this video is talking about what changes him also describe his current life.

The whole video uses slow motion that tells audiences it is a soft memory video and they also can pay attention to the dialogue.

I like how he uses documentary interview style to describe a gang member's life. There are some sense I like the most.



The first sense of him that introduce him to audiences. It is clever using a
mirror let this man face himself. And the over-shoulder shoot also hidden the camera makes audiences focuses the man in the mirror.

The patch shows on the video when he started talking about what the patch means. The long shoot also tell audience that how important the patch means to him.

This sense is talking about how was his childhood that he was pretty bad before he joined gang. This newspaper shows on video when he talks about a case he made. It also matches between video and audio.

 This is the middle part of this video. This sense is about how he started changing. The shoot from low level is good to represent people starting changing and audiences can focus the facial emotion. Also the music starting changing from this sense.

 This is my favourite sense in this video. It is perfect of matching between music and video. Battle music starting with the video of a warrior sitting on the beach. Also the wild shoot makes music more powerful.

His daughter finally understand how many his father did for their family in the last sense. It is a happy ending of this powerful video.
