No wonder why Cameraperson currently has 99% rating on rotten tomatoes and has received multiple awards for its production and structure, Cameraperson was a very intriguing and eyeopening experience through the lens. The different skill set that she presented within the film, the camera placement, the dialogue between the interviewer and interviewee, all played an important role in the impact fulness of the film as a whole. Not only did she do that, she also used multiple other collages to be able to tell a story about another instance (i.e. using the interview of the man who broke into the FBI to explain the feeling that she was feeling when the nurse was trying to keep the baby a live). That part of the movie was so unexpected and I amazed at how well that it worked within the film. I wish to be able to use some of those skills within my own work later on in the future.
In addition to her technical skills, I really admired how she was able to use her subjects and the objects surrounding them to effectively affect the movie’s tone and audience’s mood. The one thing that I figured out within the film was that children was the main factor in how and what way the tone would shift within the film. Ideas like this shows the creativeness that she has as a documentarian and this is very vital in creating an amazing artistic piece.
