Assignment 3: 3MW Research

3MW research


The first 3MW documentary I found to look at is on the enbtecmedia YouTube channel. The video is titled “Lowestoft” and focuses on the town, its land and the residents within Lowestoft. The reason I liked this video is because it relates to the topic my 3MW will be about. The video includes interviews with people talking about the area and mores so discusses what the area now lacks as opposed to recent years. The scenes in this video which show the area of Lowestoft are what I will take inspiration from as in my own documentary I would like to not only just discuss great Yarmouth as a town but show the area to the viewer and explain the history of the town as it is displayed. I have decided to make video documenting the changes between night and day in my town of great Yarmouth, and documenting parts of the history of the town and comparing the differences and changes the town has made over the years up until now. As this video I first spoke about focuses on a particular town and discusses parts of its history, this is something I feel I can take ideas from, though I would still like to create more of an observational style of documentary with little dialogue. The shots in the earlier discussed video are something I would like to incorporate into my own video as I feel this gave off a good idea in the video of what Lowestoft looks like and what kind of town it is. The style of this documentary is very similar to what I would like to create.


The second 3MW documentary I found that liked is titled “heavy addiction” and it documents people who are obsessed with bodybuilding. The reason I like this documentary is for its style. The video consists mainly of both interview footage and footage of what these people do on a regular basis. I also feel like this is a subject which is very interesting and seeing and hearing from the people in this documentary adds intrigue as they discuss why they are so obsessed with what they do. I take inspiration from this video as I find it is a very raw and revealing documentary. This is something I would like to incorporate into my own work.


The third 3MW documentary I found is titled “100”. This 3MW documents a woman’s life as she turns 100. One the main things I like about this 3MW is the fact that it has a reflective quality in that it looks back on history and shows old photos in the video. The reason I like this about the documentary is because it makes you think and gives off a better impression of who this person is and their history.
