Inspiration from similar productsRosalin Zein – Don't Blame Facebook
The transitions that are used in this documentary are really unique. The effect resembles a fuzzy TV screen which relates to the topic of the documentary which is social media.
Throughout the documentary there are cutaways to Facebook & Twitter posts as evidence for their case studies. What I liked about this was the way in which their cutaways appeared on the screen and the use of sound effects.
In this documentary there would be different angles/shots of a single piece – for example, in this clip the man being interviewed has a long shot and a close up shot.
