Born Into Coal- I really enjoyed this documentary. At first when I saw the girls in pageant
dress, I thought this was going to be like an episode of Toddlers &
Tiaras. I am very glad this was not the
same. I never really thought as coal
mining as a big occupation anymore these days, but I guess it is still a huge
job that needs to be done. I remember
when the documentary was talking about the explosion that happened in
2010. I liked that they would do close
ups of the peoples face to show their emotions.
It made me think of how the scene should also make me feel. I also like that when the people were explaining
stuff, instead of just seeing them talking, we saw filler scenes that helped
keep to motion of the movie going. One
scene that really stood out to me was when the camera did a close up of the dad’s
black coal stained fingernails then a close up to his daughters black manicure
nails. It kind of showed how they were
different but somewhat still the same. I
like how the documentary starts with the pageant, cuts to the main part the documentary
wanted to bring up, the coal miner and their family, then back to the pageant
to shower her win. I think it kind of
showed her journey to winning without seeing the actual pageant by showing why
she wanted to win so badly. The edits
were also very clean.
