Korea Netiquette

Although they are all considered documentaries, “The Archive”, “Anxiety” and “Korean Netiquette” have very different styles. One of the main things that makes “Korean Netiquette” so different is that the interviewer was in the camera shots and apart of the documentary. While in “The Archive” and “Anxiety” the interviewers were off camera and nowhere to be seen. “The Archive” seemed more staged and serious, and there was fixed cameras. While “Anxiety” would follow Royce around and it was just filming as things happened that night, you could feel more of the camera was a part of the documentary.  “Korea Netiquette” seemed kind of like a news report and less of a documentary. The interviewer would just walk along side of the lady and just ask her questions, which made it seem less formal. In the other two documentaries they would have the interviewees seated with a camera positioned and the interviewer asking questions out of sight. Some things that all of the documentaries had in common, were some of the camera angles that were used. The camera would zoom in on the people’s faces, and then have some wider shots of the whole room.  Music, or other sound, wise, all of the documentaries were different. “Anxiety” had loud heartbeat and breathing sounds. “The Archive” just used music, and “Korean Netiquette” uses the voice of the children singing. While all of these are considered documentaries, they all have very different parts and stylistic choices that the director used to make them up.
