Analysis & Reflection #2

Question 1 –

From reading the treatement to ‘End Of The Line,’ to then watching it in the lecture, it is clear to me that with this kind of documentary making, the story the creator is attempting to tell can take on a life of itself and evolve into new territoy of the story. This treatment explains a documentary focusing on a family and their life in Broken Hill, and how their life of isolation is strange to some, but they love it. From what I can remember of the actual documentary that was produced, it had quite a depressing vibe to it, and focused on different people who reside in the town of Boken Hill. I can’t remember exactly who those residence were, however, some of them spoke of how they liked iving there, or had moved there to live out the rest of their life. From treatment to final product there has been an evolvement, where the story has slightly become something else. So, the group who crated ‘End of The Line’ definitely told a interesting story with their short film, however it does seem that the final product was not neccessarily exactly what they had originally set out to achieve.
