Documentary Analysis 3 and 4

The way the documentary starts with the main operation and the voiceover throws you straight into what the documentary is about. I don't really like how they have done this as i feel it gives away straight away what you are about to watch. However i like how the writing appears explaining about the implant, making you more aware. I like how they have added in what the little boy can hear once he has been given the implant. Showing the difference between a child being given the chance to have the implant and a child that isn't 'allowed' to have one. It shows different deaf peoples lives and how simliar and different they are which i think is good. In the documentary its demonstrated how a deaf person could be described as underwater and in the deaf community. When someone is given the implant they are then able to come out of the water and enter the hearing community. I feel that this is an effective part of the documentary.

Well made with fine shots and editing. While it is about boats and people who love boats, it has evocative connotations - salvaging and restoring our own personal history; unemployment, value, the countryside - and more - that should make it of interest to everyone. 5 stars. Excellent documentary, seamless between watching and the 'obsessive' enthusiasts.
