The Beast InsideThe link to the video is here. The Beast Inside was the story of a young homeless teenager named Tilawn, the documentary includes all about how difficult his left has been after dealing with homelessness and then being brought into a house. He talks about how his friends have gotten into drugs and can’t afford to eat because of homelessness. During the documentary it also mentions about how he got prejudged for who he was which really made me tear up. I personally do not think that anyone should be judged for who they are. The whole documentary was shot in a rugged manner, almost to imply how his time on the streets felt to him. All the documentary was illustrated with no real-life footage being shot. But I do think that this was done for meaning to the documentary with it being that if they put the real Tilawn into the documentary, I feel like it wouldn’t have had the same effect on a viewer as it does with animations. The whole of the documentary was shot in a harmonious colour scheme. Almost to imply struggles. The monologue in the first scene was lyrics from a rap that Tilawn had written himself. This brings it home that even the most talented individuals can have things bad that have occurred in their life. As someone that never usually watches documentaries because I find them boring at times, I found this one to be fascinating. It made me want to learn and research more about Tilawn’s life and how he got to the place that he is at today because I know it wouldn’t have been an easy journey to get to where he is today. Beyond YearsThe link to the video is here.
Beyond years is the story about how a couple named Tim and Sarah McEown who have a 22-year age gap had never thought about the age gap being a problem until Tim had a heart attack. Tim talks about how when Sarah had phoned the ambulance, Sarah was packing an overnight bag for Tim, which made Tim think about how much Sarah appreciated him, how he was going to come home. This made Tim think about how much he loved her. 6 weeks later they got married. The documentary was shot in a more sophisticated way, which could reflect their maturity of being a couple with a larger age gap. The documentary was an animation throughout the whole time, with no video of them or their circumstances. I think this was again done for a reason, to not take your mind away from the actual story, almost to bring your mind straight to the story to make sure that you focus on the story and not them as a couple. My Nan and Grandad had an 18-year age gap, so this documentary really hit home. Whilst watching the documentary I kept thinking about my Nan and Grandad’s relationship and how when my Grandad went into the hospital after having a heart attack, she packed him a bag. But unfortunately, he never came home, so I guess this almost was a what if my grandad had survived type of thing. I think this documentary can resonate with a lot of people. Therefore, the documentary is perfect.
