Return of the Documentary Analysis!

Another documentary that I enjoyed watching was Pockets by James Lee.
James Lee asks Londoners to share what they have in their pockets and what it means to them. Every object tells a story, revealing something about its owner. The objects provide a quick and charming social insight. James Lee films the participants up close to develop a personal feeling, to me it also shows the secrecy between director and the participant. I really enjoyed this documentary as it is short and simple but has a great effect. The music is jolly and spontaneous, which goes with some of the comedic participants filmed. I would describe this documentary as an Observational documentary as James Lee doesn't get involved, he lets all the participants do the speaking. I really enjoyed watching this documentary and it has provided me with ideas for our project.
