Onibus 174 : A Documentary Or Non Fiction Movie

A documentary demonstrates an interpretation of the truth by attempting to persuade an audience to side with the makers to endorse their interpretations of issues and events. In the instance Bra boys; Blood is thicker then water, directed by Sunny Abberton, the Bra Boys gang is viewed as a imitation of a prodigious brotherhood gang of surfers that are victims from occurrences and backgrounds opposed to a gang that dispute with the law by an act of violence. The Bra Boys have interpreted issues and events by emphasizing the importance of family, belonging, brotherhood and multiculturalism. The use of presenting constructed footage and personal interviews endorses viewers to see the Bra Boys from a positive light, boys who are role models to

Firstly, it is important to understand how the documentary form is best suited to illustrate the film’s theme. In order to do this, one must have an overview of the documentary style of filmmaking. Documentaries concern themselves with the “exploration of

The documentary is about Nevsun, a Canadian mining company for permitting forced labor and abuse of human rights in Bisha mine in Eretria. The documentary is prepared and presented by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Fifth Estate in February 2016. The film meshes well with the unfortunate miseries that civilians have to endure under the aristocratic regime of President Isaias Afwerki. The film is incredibly mind boggling and captivating in disclosing felonious activities by the Nevsun in collaboration with the Eritrea’s government. The film attempts to portray how compromised cooperation between private firms and aristocratic regimes leads to forced labor; abuse of human right and crimes against humanity ("Nevsun In Eritrea: Dealing With A Dictator - The Fifth Estate").

Firstly, Bowling for Columbine Moore’s addresses the issue of gun violence in America following a school shooting. On the other hand, Made in Bangladesh by CBC news focuses on the issue of sweatshops and maltreatment of workers in Bangladesh after the collapsing of an uncertified sweatshop. These two documentaries effectively and successfully use persuasive techniques to present a confrontational message on social justice. Also, they position the audience to sympathize with the victims and in turn want to do something about the issue. These techniques include the use careful selection of material, the use of cinematography, music and sound effects, sequencing and editing. Although the two documentaries have different content they equally manage to persuade viewers that the content is meaningful. The impact that the documentaries had on me or other audience members was that of sympathy and outrage about the incidents that fell upon innocent people featured in these documentaries.

In 1989, director John Duigan created a spectacular film, which was called Romero. This film was created to depict Óscar Romero’s organizing peaceful protests against a violent military regime, as well as his death. Óscar Romero used his voice of power in the Church and in the country to speak up for the poor. When important political figures in the country told him to be quiet and to stop speaking out against these injustices, he refused, often putting his own body in between his people and their perpetrators. His defense of the Salvadoran people was very effective in protecting them from the senseless violence and oppression by the Salvadoran government. He was truly a hero. He advocated human rights without the use of violence or harm to others, he used his voice to bring justice to the citizens of El Salvador. He should be remembered as a strong-willed advocate. Óscar Romero did not give up, “’As a Christian,’ he remarked on one such occasion, ‘I do not believe in death without resurrection. If they kill me, I shall rise again in the Salvadoran people’” (UN). Oscar Romero had a tremendous impact in El Salvador, in the rest of Latin America, and in the rest of the world. His passion for justice fueled a revolution in El Salvador that protected and gave a voice to the oppressed of El Salvador. Latin Americans throughout the rest of Central and South America hail Romero as a leader, a saint, and an example of how to live out one's faith in the face

Troop 1324 consisted of about fifteen, second grade girls. We were all wonderfully and vastly different from each other, which made our troop more extraordinary.

Our troop was showered with hardships, but it only brought us closer to one another. It wired us to become a

In this chapter I got introduced to Ona and Jurgis two immigrants from Lithuanian looking for a better future. When arriving to Chicago they throw a wedding for them, which took place in the stockyards in Packing town. The wedding becomes huge with lots of guests the majority being people they didn’t know. After all the fun people were expected to donate money to pay off the cost of the event. People ended up just leaving when they found out they had to donate some money. This backfired Jurgis and Ona when the saloonkeeper tells them they had consumed more of the goods at the party, and they would have to pay it off. I believe Jurgis, Ona and Teta could’ve been more careful with who they let into the party. Furthermore in chapter 2 it gives

My first disturbing encounter with SFC Wilson was in November 2016, we were housed in lodging across from one another and he made the remark that I should make sure my door is secure and rattled off my key door lock number. After that incident, I shoved the sofa that was in my room up against the door every night until I moved to permanent housing. I was very relieved that I would be away from him so that I could sleep better at night. The second incident was during the first course of the 42A30, SFC Wilson introduced himself to the instructors and made it known to them that he did not know what he was doing and he would need assistance from all of us. He would ask my opinion about issues or situations that he was assisting in creating

Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 details the events of an unsuccessful Navy SEAL mission which resulted in 19 US Military casualties, and only one member of SEAL Team 10 surviving. The book was written by Marcus Luttrell with the help of ghost writer, Patrick Robinson, and published in 2007. Marcus Luttrell was born on November 7, 1975 and raised in Houston, Texas. He and his brother, Morgan, both began Navy SEAL training at age 14 with the help of their ex-SEAL neighbor, Billy Shelton. Both brothers attended Sam Houston State University, and went on to join the Navy SEALs. Luttrell joined the Navy in 1999 where he began Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training with Class 226 in Coronado, California. Due to a leg injury, he graduated with Class 228 in 2000. After BUD/S, he trained at Army Jump School, SEAL Qualification Training, and Special Operations Combat Medic courses before finally completing his training. After he was discharged from the Navy, he was awarded with a Purple Heart and Navy Cross. He later set up the Lone Survivor Foundation which “restores, empowers, and renews hope for our wounded service members and their families through health, wellness, and therapeutic support” (www.lonesurvivorfoundation.org).

The film, Confessions of a Sociopath, was made by the critically acclaimed director Joe Gibbons. Joe Gibbons is famous for his experimental films, and this film is perhaps his best project to date. The film is an hour long and takes the viewer through real life events that have occurred in Joe’s life. In the film, Gibbons acts as a fictional version of himself where he finds a room full of footage from his life with events that he can no longer recall. The film describes his earlier film experiments, his descent into constructive behavior and his bottoming out on drugs and alcohol. It is intriguing to see a side of a well-known film maker that no one would have thought existed. The film is also greatly intriguing because it is not made in the traditional professional way. The viewer is taken through a series of events that seem normal and completely unscripted. It is also clear that most of the events in the film were shot without the assistance of professional cameramen and directors save for Gibbons himself.

The first scene of the movie opens with long shots and tracking shots of multitudes of Brazilians streaming and forcing their way in and out of the Rio de Janeiro train’s doors and windows scrambling for sitting and standing spaces, juxtaposed with cut edits of medium

In this essay, I will explain why a documentary is always more realistic than a fiction film. I will show my thesis by exploring elements that influence how realistic a film is: film editing and format, genre, and transparency. I will use the documentary of Armadillo (2010), by Janus Pedersen, and the fiction film of The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach (1968), by Danièle Huille as examples.
