Today we watched Skateistan: To live and skate Kabul which is a short documentary by Orlando Von Einsiedel. It follows a group of teenagers who enjoy skateboarding.
The composition of the shots were really well considered, this helps to make the film accessible for the audience. It creates a clear idea of the world that these skater are living.
The centre of the documentary are the three main characters that also provide narrations using the voice-over technique.
The set up of the documentary makes the audience feel like it going to have a completely different theme. It focuses on the beautiful scenery of Kabul and avoids the political conflicts.
I found it really interesting to see a group of teenagers take part in skate boarding in a completely different situation. It was refreshing seeing their youth shine through the decay of the country.
