DECONSTRUCTION 1

This is an experimental film by Youtube film creator Jamie Swarbrick, it is somewhat 'daily vlog', and somewhat experimental. It is 'daily vlog' due to how he captures the events of that one day, rather than numerous days or different events. However I'd say it was experimental due to the way it is displayed to the audience - the song behind each clip and the camera techniques provoke thought that it may be an experimental film. 

I like the way the title of the production is displayed on top of the first clip, as opposed to on a black screen, I think I will cooperate this in my own work, as I think it makes it more original and unique.
I think the variation of camera angles work well in this short film, especially the close ups of the sand and rocks. I like that Swarbrick uses manual focus to focus in and out of a certain close up, it is a technique that I would like to use in my own work, as I think it grabs the audiences attention and makes them look closer. 

The narrative for this piece is chronological and it is also realist. I am inspired by this clip to also create a chronological piece, as I think the simplicity of having no flashbacks/flash-forwards is effective.
