Since we are learning about documentary film in class, I wanted to post this video.here is the video take a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg1zaW7c8_I
It is a song by Matt Nathanson called Headphones. It is a music video but also a mini documentary film about deaf people and hearing loss. His reason for the video is to bring awareness to the 360 million people in the world who struggle with hearing loss but to bring out the fact that many people cannot afford the proper medical care or devices to help their deafness. This video is magically cut and his song
goes along with what we have learned.
It is his perspective on the topic and how he has changed peoples lives. It is very moving.Music to him is very important, he says does not want to go deaf would feel lost with out it. He donated and helped third world people get hearing aids. They give 1000 in 48 hours.This shows a third world country as the setting. It is a medical clinic that shows the change in people with their hearing aids. The hearing aids are “headphones” in the video. It is a good way to help and show this issue. I like how they showed different individuals and their reaction as well as showed Matt Nathanson.
This is a very interesting post! The video was really good!
This is a very different form of documentary films. It is almost a documentary short. In class we learned to decide what a filmmakers intentions are with his film. Here, his intentions are very clear and he did bring awareness to all his viewers.
