The title of this documentary sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try. The documentary focused on a man Timothy Treadwell who spent 13 summers in the wilderness to spend times with bears and to study their habitat. What I did not like about this documentary was the way it was filmed. It was handheld in most shots, but at the same time it was really shaky. I know normally handheld shots are suppose to give viewers a more dramatic effect and we can feel like we are part of the action, but this time it did not give me that feeling but whereas it made me feel dizzy as I was watching it.
This documentary was different in a way of how it was edited too. I know that Timothy passed away, and they published this doc after, but the narration I found was very distracting. There wasn't much emotion that the narrator's voice was very monotone. Normally this works well for doc's but this time it was quite boring to listen to.
I think the factor that made this documentary not as interesting was the concept that the documentary portrayed. I didn't see that Timothy was trying to learn more about the bear's habitat, but he was intruding on their surrounding. I think if this doc was edited with more better sequence and camera shots it would've worked better.
