Mere Samandar Mere Kinary - Documentary

Rehri Goth is a centuries old fishing village along the Sindh coastline. Industrial discharge, oil spill and solid waste from neighboring cattle colonies is destroying the aquatic life. The documentary explores the economic plight of the fishermen, the safety and health concerns, and possible solutions.

This video is more likely to be a comprehensive documentary. It is meanly talking about a village that fish for living and suffered from the oil spill. Lots of people get sick, but they did not aware how important their health is. The shot of a fisherman sewing the fishing net is my favor shot as it looks real and simple. Also the shot of the sick child which arise my sympathy and willing to help them. This is a very good documentary and, at the same time, a very good advertisement to seek help from the government and the rest of the world.

Wild Caught (swordfish documentary 2012)

Cognitive Dissonant Studios takes you on a journey aboard sword fishing vessel Jaxon T where Captain Hoang Gia Anh demonstrates how some of the largest commercially caught fish in the world are boarded and then brought to auction for top dollar. This is a rare glimpse into the lives and perspectives of the fisherman who make the Honolulu Fish Auction possible.

At the very beginning of the video, it shown the image of the fish market and shots of fish transferring and selling. Then comes the lead and frames he chat with the director before they start taking shots on the sea. Light is wonderful when taking a shot outdoor, but that in the cabin was that good. Personally, I do not think this documentary could complete their filming in one simple day. That is why some of the frames have a large difference in light. There are also lots of frames taken under water in this documentary. It shown the way how a fisherman dress, eat and work; also shown different kinds of fishes and place they store fishes in different ways. Fish-eye lens and wide-angle lens is widely used in this video, which made the film good. I think I need support from the University of Lens.

Amazing Cutting Fish in Japan - CANON EOS 5D Mark II Short Film

Cutting Yellow fin Tuna Fish in Japan. His technique is wonderful. Fast, clean and beautiful. Speed produces a good taste of "Sashimi", "Sushi".

This video is showing the process of how japanese killing fish with lots of close-up shots. It is a good combination of clearness and colour which makes the audience feel comfortable. There are no dialogues in the whole video, instead, the creator use rhythm of the background music and the live recording sound to control the speed. It use a traditional Japanese music as the background music which I like the feeling and inspire me to use Chinese traditional music as the background music in my film to create a better atmosphere.

Sound has a great ability of creating atmosphere; different kind sounds create different moods and imaginations. When combining vision and sound, vision gives sound a image and sound give vision a feeling and imagination. As Thomas Skinner said, the relationship between vision and sound should be ‘1+1=3’, in another word, when combining vision and sound, it create a new sense which brings the audience psychological imagination. （http://wenku.baidu.com/view/79def2087cd184254b3535ca.html）

BBC News Cornwall RNLI crew spots fisherman in rough seas mp4

What I learned from this video is that taking a shot on the sea very unstable. Sea wave and wind have reduced the stability of the film. The instability of light on the sea is another problem, which make frames grey, fuzzy and hard to focus. Also, sound recording is big challenge for me. How to mix sound and frames is the key to improve the reality of documentary. For me, I do not have much experience of sound recording. So it is necessary to put it into my learning plan.

Salty Dogs - A Day in the Life of Lobster Fisherman

From morning till night some weathered salty sea men fish to classic rock. A day in the life of Winthrop lobster fisherman. Beautifully photographed, without dialogue.

‘Documentary is telling the story through visual language but not narrating. Documentary is a method that editing frames and original sounds with filming sense to show the mean idea without words.’（http://www.starlunwen.net/jiaoyujiaoxue/129217.html）

This video is my favor one as its angle of framing is different from other documentary. It is framing in from a unique angle with clearness and wonderful colour. Usually, documentary about fishermen has a few shots at night, but this one is different. It used night framing skill and lighting skill to show lots of shots at night. Shots that taken in daytime are also great as it used different framing skill. This video is a non-narrating documentary, but is not unreal and boring as it has sounds from the ship engine and radio. I am eager to learn this kind of framing skill and music editing technique. It a very good example for me to learn.
