- Very good close up slo motion of the tattoo needle
- Archive footage of ITV GMB of tattoo trends - good but felt way too long for the video got boring after a while - should have had contributors instead of the archive footage 
- Very strong clear voiceover 
- Some of the contributor tattoo artists felt very awkward 
- Very factual with facts and figures 
- A section about their personal favourite tattoo love this and the music is good too however it does not look good in black and white, would be better in colour
- Very strong emotional stories 
- Good 2 different camera angles to jump to.
- Too many contributors hard to keep up, and difficult to feel attached and empathise with any of them because of this
- Good conflict about professionals about the TV show tattoo fixers, loved this part very interesting to learn about this 
- Very factual but didn't ask enough people (only 40)

- There is some issues with audio - sound is very glitchy in some places
- PD speaking while the contributor is talking, let them speak 
- 00:10:28 - awkward camera angle/placement, didn't feel right for the viewer. 
- Good interesting stories from the contributors about why they hate that the tattoo industry is very male-dominated and why they are female only and how they got into tattooing. 
- Locations aren't very interesting not very unique and doesn't feel like a tattoo shop vibe that a viewer may be expecting 
- Do not see much tattooing actuality. 
- Would have been nice to see and hear customers' opinions about the female-only tattoo shops and why they go to this specific one 
- There is too much focus on shots of the main interviews, boring. 
- Cutaways are very irrelevant to the main interviews
If I was to do this documentary I would:

- Add customers views and opinions and why they go there
- So much more actuality and definitely interview while tattooing 
- More personal Questions about their tattooing and their tattoos too.

- Good actuality conversation between customer and Mike at the start, very realistic 
- Strong contributors good characters and personalities 
- Some audio levels were bad tattoo needle was overpowering the interview 
- Good interviews and you can see what they are talking about on screen 
- Nice different interview places and camera angles and actuality and main interview. 
- Good taking contributors to locations they're talking about to bring back more memories and make them feel more comfortable. 
- Like the actuality of Mike designing and drawing tattoos 
- Love that it focussed on the tattooist 
- Linear actuality from designing - tattooing - final product]]> 2022-02-24 15:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2064829158 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2064836240 - Visually see their stories 
- Experiments with breaking £10 with a stranger - very interesting to see the action play out and also to see their reactions to people saying no 
- Actuality with contributors and Man on the street when he lets him break £10
- All 3 contributors meet up together as if the viewer is a fly on the wall 
- one-shot sequence, the women speaks directly to the camera and says a fact about tattoos - didn't like this as it felt out of place and didn't match the style of the doc at all 
- Liked the ending shots of them taking makeup off ending on their real selves not something that is fake. ]]> 2022-02-24 16:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2064836240 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2064843182 - The girl is alone and this water is her happy place when they come to this place for the summer 
- All of the men that kicked her out were horrible and then when she returned one of them gives her necklace back - this can show that there is hope for her to find love, like her sisters and she will not be alone forever
- The battle of women vs men and also religion is extremely present, and the use of the men standing up while she is in the water can show the power and control that they have over her - very interesting and upsetting for the viewer to watch

- The Archive footage really helps to emphasize the film and love it in black and white adds a nice touch to it 
-  Audio Music really adds to the doc and emphasises how the viewer should be feeling without overpowering it 
- Extremely interesting character with so many great stories, felt like I didn't want it to end 
- Like the close up in the interview connoting it is all about her and nothing else

- liked the story of them getting lost and all she wanted was to find her dream animal
- at the start we see their home and how much she loves elephants so we know this from the start, but it is him on his own so assuming she is dead
- she mentions halfway through that she wants an elephant cake for her birthday and that is at the start of the film ]]> 2022-03-02 23:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2074571257 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2074574441 - Love the use of the interviews being set up like a date on tinder, very creative and unique idea, I want to do something creative like this for my interviews
- Extremely visual, everything that they are talking about you can always see on the visuals 
- great content, and all the voice notes, whatsapp messages, phots of the partners together, all makes it feel like we are living in the story as it is being told

- everything is not as it seems, and then it unravels more and more as the story goes on
- love the shots of the frog chasing the butterfly, as we follow this story, more and more is revealed 
- the ending is extremely juxtaposed with all of the lights and music and 'party' happening with the frogs, then all of a sudden the dead body floats to the top of the pool. ]]> 2022-03-03 00:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2074585997 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2074624376 - love the sequences, flows very well and shows her amazing work and her painting, it is a good balance of cutaways

- love the music that is chosen, it matches the tone of the documentary, very random 
- I like that the voiceover isn't a main interview and we don't see the main interview 
- love the tracking shots following him around the supermarket buying his groceries 
- love the variety of places that we see him in to show that he goes everywhere in dressed as a superhero 
- I like the sequences of him looking direcntly into the camera and smiling, he shows how happy he is with his life and he doesn't care what anyone thinks ]]> 2022-03-05 21:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079451569 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079454565 - Love that it feels like a story with the narration voiceover 
- love the scene where the alarm is going off and then she steps from the light into the darkness to show she doesn't want her acne to be seen 
- dont know if I like the rest of the Documentary, too weird and disgusting but like style and tone of the doc]]> 2022-03-05 21:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079454565 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079455696 - I like the way they incorportate the speech with the woman speaking directly to the camera, and very unique camera angles, I like this 
- I like the way she has the hand on her face to show that she had been dragged down, and then she has come up from the water as if she has finally escaped from drowning in her thoughts and her past and what has happened to her ]]> 2022-03-05 21:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079455696 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079456716 - I like how it is very fast cut so we get to see the whole outfit, then close ups and then a variety of different outfits and creations, the tone fits the very fast cut because there is so much to see
-Too much writing on the screen and not enough time to read it, however the context was good just needed longer and less writing on the same page ]]> 2022-03-05 21:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079456716 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079457959 - I had to watch this twice 

-The eyes are like everyone is watching him
loads of muffle as if his mind is muffled
swimming trying to leave his mind 
and then all of a sudden its time to get off the train 
- I loved how this is made, I want to incorporate some of this into my documentary ]]> 2022-03-05 21:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079457959 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079459276 - The style of a video game

Rafe takes drastic action to rid himself of his stilts and escape - much to the displeasure of his father. ]]> 2022-03-05 21:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079465222 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079468836 This has been one of the biggest influences for me for my documentary 
- the pace of this documentary is perfect, and calming and I think this would fit the Float documentary very well to keep in the calm state of mind 
- The use of sound effects to understand whats happening it something that I will be adopting in my documentary hopefully 
- the stock footage/animation is very creative and makes you really understand whats happening in the mind, i want to try and re create this with The Float. ]]> 2022-03-05 22:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2079468836 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2086816766 - The main influence from this is the very busy atmosphere, on their phones and then all of a sudden wipes to black, I think this is extremely creative and very powerful getting accross the message of we need to stop living online and stop, and I want to get this accross in my documentary ]]> 2022-03-09 19:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2086816766 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2092412831 - expressing his identity through dance 
- music goes very well with it 
- very fast paced to match the music, and fast paced edited. worked hand in hand very well together 
- showing at the start with all of the hands as if he was trapped very close up shots but then to on his own very wide angles and medium shots to show he is free to be his own identity, and connoting he doesn't have to listen to anyone else. ]]> 2022-03-13 15:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2092412831 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2092416966 - the umbrellas are her fighting back from the anxiety - very powerful to show then at the end that she isn't alone and all of her friends are with her and will help and support her - i also liked that the poem stopped at this part so. you could really focus and get this message across that you are not alone.
- Everything feels like water - this is because she feels like she is drowning  ]]> 2022-03-13 15:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2092416966 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2092433996 Doesnt explain why potatoes are money to them until 8 mins in, which is really clever because you kind of work it out for yourself and then they tell you the reasons why ]]> 2022-03-13 15:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2092433996 abihughes01 https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2176455558 - One main thing that I have taken from this documentary is the very bright sunlight, natural stock footage, I believe that this stock footage fits extremely well to the naturalistic features within this documentary 
- another main thing i have adopted from this documentary is the quotations dotted throughout, it is extremely natural and does not take you away from whats happening in the documentary, i love this technique. ]]> 2022-05-09 21:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/abihughes01/abihughes/wish/2176455558
