the boy who never forgets doc analysis

1. The boy who can’t forget
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/boy-who-cant-forget/
This documentary is about three people who have the ability to remember
things they had seen on TV and in their lifetime. They would recall this from a
date alone and name the day of the week it was and what happened.
The presenter was off-screen and used a black and white with a fish eye effect
to reflect on his point of view (POV) of the journey in finding out more on
these stories. This made the documentary interesting because he wasn’tan
on-screen narrator or there when asking the questions, so being put in his
shoes in doing the documentary helps the audience get a feel of his character
and get an insight on the ‘behind the scene’ footage.
When he was filming the subjects, it was moreof an informalset up in their
rooms and living roombecauseit links with the the topic and makes it more
relaxing for them to remenise back to the date in question. Using close-up
shots to show their facial expression and see whether is genuine as thehy
quesiton if whatthey’re saying in true by googling and looking at their old
family pictures.

2. The boy who can’t forget
The documentary would usebackground footageto introduce one the woman
who also remembers things. The narrator would useflick back and forth to
interviews with things they say. When they’d say banana, a banana will cut into
the next shot and when the referencea day the calendar will changethe day
on it as he speaks. Including when the expert talk about how the brain works,
to understand how their memory works likethat, it cuts to their computer with
the framein shot.
Background footageof the area was used to set the scene with a title of where
the location is. When searching what the people say is true, they’d show the
internet screen and the date to proveits right, corresponding with whatthey
say.
