MDA1400 - Brief 02 - Observational Documentary - 'Cig Break'

This is the observational documentary made by Mayang and I.

While we initially set out to observe the social aspects of people on a cigarette break, due to a lack of planning on our behalf, and mistakes during filming, the best footage we had was of a person on their own on a cig break.

While most of the footage, I can safely admit, was quite boring, there was the one moment on here, in which a group of students walk by, one of whom is bragging about his collection of designer shoes.

This random event is really what makes it a natural observational documentary, as it shows that while just observing events different things happened which weren't influenced by us.

The minimal titles and lack of sound editing also adhere to the 'conventions' of observational documentary.
