Documentary: Nike Sweatshops: Behind The Swoosh

Nike Sweatshop: Behind the swoosh


 This is a documentary that was posted on youtube by a group called "teamsweat" in 2011.

 It is investigatory and expository as it aims to shed light on a popular brand who uses unethical ways of making their garments. With the use of archive footage and some actuality of sweat shops

 Shots
starts of with a montage of developed places in america, the busy streets, the night life and carries a voice over with it. There is a character introducing himself and talking about what he does in his life (relating to footwear) - the beginning is similar to bowling for Colombine in the snse that there is a montage and a voice over except this one is not as hard hitting and direct in its approach. They have chosen to produce the problem at a later stage in the documentary whereas in Bowling for columbine, Moore was very direct in his approach. 

 This gets me thinking about how we could approach or documentary. Will we start with a montage and hard hitting facts? or will we take a softer approach in getting our points across?

I learnt that this could be just as good after watching someone create a brilliant prosthetic that way.  In the video here you can see that she has moulded the clay in to the desired shape and preps it for the covering of the liquid latex. I then proceeded to doing the same.   I was using coloured, oil based clay for mine. I was then required to sprinkle flour over mine to thicken the layer of the latex. I would repeat that until I was happy with the thickness. In the same tutorial, she moulded teeth for her zombie and I thought it would've been cool to do the same. ...
