This presentation analyzes a student documentary focusing on the army. The documentary introduces the presenter at the beginning but he does not appear again. Throughout the documentary, some shots are very dark and do not use lighting techniques well. The documentary interviews an expert and includes relevant props, and uses a variety of shots and past footage to make its points. However, it lacks conclusions and titles, and has issues with lighting, camerawork, and audio levels. The topic could have generated more debate with improvements.
