We seem to have missed sufficient film lessons of importance, until the date on which we did our Michael Moore presentation. I have to say firstly that the commercials varied in greatness, with some having good timing in editing, excellent visual and auditory quality, and a storyline that can be followed in the given time (30 secs), whereas others were simply incoherent, low quality and poorly edited. I think my commercial was okay, but it had poorly placed credits and I could have put in different music in hindsight. Shun's was okay, except that the story just was too compressed in the space of 30 seconds. Less walking in and out of rooms could have perhaps given more time to the improtant elements of the commercial.
Michael Moore's films fascinated me quite, more for their entertainment and cinema quality rather than its documentary elements, because I couldn't help but think that he was simply a clever liar. Moore doesn't really tell the truth at all, he uses footage to support blatant lies. But the things I discovered in terms of editing technique, using soundbytes, raw audio and raw video to create realism, and how important it is to use good cinematography techniques. I think my presentation was coherent and understandable, and that I gave my insight into Michael Moore's style.
