yvonneleach-33166 A very creative and thought provoking way to share our combined human experience across cultures. To think what a challenge it was to go through all that video footage and decide what to keep and then to piece it together in a way that flowed naturally and touched on the common themes of life for all of us. It is commendable and the final product a truly amazing product,
Mr.Blonde The life as it is. Naked an Row. I always had the notion of discrepancy between countries. What is right for us, for granted, another may be completely different. If I feel good, there is always someone who feels worse than ever and someone even better. Life in a Day is the maximum examples. The change in the camera. The change in vision. All of us in one way or another we have our problems, our way of solving it. And in the movie when all the stakeholders are willing to change. The one day be the day of the move. The day "today was not even bad" or "I have this problem, I will not change, but show you to learn how I am." Recommended and easy to read display, where are all heroes, connect a camera and answer "What is it you fear?I recommend that if only to see the epic fail in living room or bedroom.
christopher_parker08 I watched this film at school as part of my A-Level media case study for the NMT exam. My first impressions of the film was that I didn't know what to think about it as film these days have lots of effect and is fake and this film is very real. Life in a day is a great film and is a different film as third world countries have a big part in the production. I also think that life in a day is more of a documentary then a film. I liked the use of different camera angles from in one shot having a long range shot which is then changed to a close up so you can't escape what is going on in the film. I also liked the idea of not having the film about people that not everyone sees every day and it's not all about the English and American people as all the Hollywood films are. Also the film I think does a great job of showing how many amazing things can happen in just one day and also tragedy's such as the love parade festival where lots of people getting crushed and people dying but it has human births and animal births marriage, all the this that make people happy and sad are in this film. also the film keeps you hooked in the film. Some of the things which I didn't like about the film was that some of the clips were too long and others too short.In conclusion Life in a day is a great film which catchers everything that can happen in a day and shows you the circle of life, the film can represent light and dark, birth and death and was based on three questions, what do you love, What do you hate and what is in your pockets.
Rajan Popat I was shown this film as part of my A2 Media course and did not know what to expect from a film which was solely made from a UGC website. First impressions of the film were that it would be a film that had no structure and no real story line and would just be numerous videos stitched together. My first impression continued to ring true through the first couple of minutes where the audience are shown footage of feet and a women in the dark. After the film continued, it showed to have a number of good points which made the film revolutionary and stand out against other more conventional documentaries The film, literally showed peoples days from getting up in the morning of the 24th July 2012, to sleeping at night, through the changes in dark and light. The good points continued as it showed the audiences real footage, in the sense that it was not directed, depicting their real lives, in their real homes and showing their real emotions. This allowed the audience to connect with the film which also made it revolutionary. I believe that film did contain a number of bad points, for instance the scene in which a cow was slaughtered. Even though the film is rated 12 and many 12 year olds do understand the killing of animals to provide their meat but may not actually have seen the killing process which could have shocked a much younger audience, even at this age this particular scene was hard to see. However as the film title depicts it is about people's lives and therefore could be justified that that scene was edited in. Another bad point of the film was the lack of narration. The lack of narration meant that the audience had to create much of their story in their head and had to find out themselves what was happening. This could be a bad point for the film as it does not make the viewing of the film "easy". Overall my opinion of the film has changed from my first impression and know do understand how this film is ground breaking in the film industry. I also believe that the way the film has been edited together to have a sense of continuity and flow and been an advantage for the film as it follows and standard "day" structure well.
