Short Documentary

I watched a short documentary on a rising business man, who tries to run his snowboarding summer camp. Throughout the documentary he emphasizes a lot on making time for yourself, to have fun, and relive stress in order to run a successful business.

This documentary primarily focused on his business but it also focused on who he is as a person. This was done so through the camera work, the style involved helps develop the connection between the audience and the guy. This connection is strengthen through the use of significant b-roll the is relevant to the subject that the guy is talking about.

The editing style is done so that there is a voice over the b-roll, which draws the attention of the audience because it keeps them entertained as they listen to the feedback that the guy is giving, rather than just watching the guy talked to us for the entire film.

The sound design is carefully chosen to match the mood the guy creates as he reveals that running a snowboarding camp is not all just fun and games that it also involves interacting with the campers, and keeping close communications with the people that help his business run. Overall this documentary is made in a way so that the audience builds a strong connection with the guy, and follows his path for building a strong business.
