Are the people or objects pictured in the video aware of the viewers' presence? How do you know?
The objects and people are aware of the views presences because they are talking directly to the camera
Do you believe they are empowered somehow, or disempowered by the choices the artist made in portraying them? In other words, how has the way they are video taped informed our image of them?
The camera does not move, and the subject barely moves accept for her mouth speaking. All of her "thoughts" about the night and the people around her move. This empowers her because it gives the viewer a look into her head and what shes was thinking about the night.
What do you notice about this video?
yet again it is very simple, yet effective. There are not a zillion different shots and scenes it just one steady shot that tells a story.
What do you like about the video?
I like how the people around the person being interviewed represent the persons "thoughts" or memories about the night. It gives the viewer a real sense of what went on without actually being there. The use of proximity is also very effective. While the person being interviewed stays the same distance apart from the camera the whole time, their memories are vary among distances.
What do you dislike about the video?
the one thing the artist could improve upon is the lighting. Although it adds to the over all feel of the situation, I personally think its a little too dark.
How would you describe the overall structure of this video?
Narrative flash back documentary that has warm color temperature and inside lighting with low camera angles and no camera movement
Choose one of the aspects described in questions 6 and consider how that aspect impacts how you read or respond to this film or video.
The no camera movement was the most effective aspect for me through this video. It was simple and to the point. Even though there is no movement of the camera, the movement throughout the frame kept my attention and interest
