The Arbor

To gain a better idea of how sound in documentaries work i watched different documentaries to see how sound is used.  the common ones such as planet earth, some Louis Theroux, Michale moore but it also led me to watch some more alternative ones.  The one that sticks out most in my mind is The Arbor.  The Arbor is a film about the life of play writer Andrea Dunbar who died at the age of 29.  I series of interviews  was carried out with her children, parents, partners etc.  Different scenes were filmed with actors and then the interview recordings were dubbed over as used as the audio dialogue.  i thought it was an interesting and different approach to making a documentary. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/filmreviews/8078688/The-Arbor-review.html
