Documentary Research: Analogue people in a digital age
5.11.14This documentary project begins with research.
Lots and lots of research. But what I love about
doing a film course is the fact that most of this
“research” is watching documentaries that I
aspire to one day be able to rival.
The first one I watched was ‘Analogue people
in a digital age.’
Synopsis:
As the analogue age draws to a close, I
eight men sit in an Irish bar and battle to remain
relevant in the digital world; the TV in the corner
a harbringer of this technological future.
Set in a pub in Ireland, this film sets itself out as a
documentary about changing technologies, but then
as it progresses, becomes a film more about society
and lifestyle. And that is why I like it. It is very surpr
ising.
I’m sure the filmmakers weren’t expecting
to be encountering conversations about Einsteins
theory of relativity or politics or even poetry quotes.
I also love this documentary because it is beautifully
cinematic and just plain honest in the way the subjects
are portrayed.
