A True Stories Movie-Documentary that describes the illicit slaughter of 23,000 dolphins, annually at Taija, a rural Japanese cove.
This chilling film surrounding the topic of whaling was directed by former National Geographic photographer Louis Psihoyos and won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 82nd Academy Award.
The two hour long film is such a poigiant and eye opening documentary which exposes such tragedy and devastation.
It is an Expository Documentary, however it is also Observation.
This documentary is also unique as at times the people being interviewed are tricked or there are secret cameras used to undercover the footage, which makes it more engaging and intriging to the viewer who almost feels privaliged to be a witness to the evidence.
There are some good shots used in the documentary such as many sped up shots to show the passing of time and the credits are engaging through the use of music and editing techniques such as blur transitions.
An effective shot constantly used was of an area such as a busy city centre or a cloudy sky. The shot would be sped up to convey the passing of time and also how time is running out for their issue.
It is different to other documentaries I have watched as it is more like a film through the use of editing and shots at times.
