National Geographic: Living the Dream

TRAILER


This documentary followed around Renan Ozturk.  For the past 6 years, he has been living his life through travelling vagabond by following his passion of rock climbing. 


The camera angle for this documentary was very interesting.  As Renan was rock climbing the camera pointed down...so it gave the effect that Renan was small.  Like he was going against all odds, by rock climbing with no spotter, or ropes to ensure that he would be safe.  The camera was also handheld in several scenes, when he was trekking through the forest...walking through the long trails.


I especially liked how the editing was done when it was close up of certain actions that Renan did, there would be a vignette around him, and everything would be blurred out but the action itself.  This definitely made it much more interesting and made me realize that what Renan did, not anyone would be able to do it.
