Inspiration

I found one or two interesting examples of the style we are trying to achieve. Although the below example ('History of the Word Nigger') has no dialogue, the pace and context of it relates to our idea. The subject matter is quite heavy so a warning was provided at the beginning of the piece. What it covers is not a new topic, in fact its an issue as old as time itself. I was upset to say the least after I saw this and if you've got an open mind will probably relate to that after you watch it. The dark, silent movie style really takes you as a viewer into the picture gripping you until you are completely engrossed. I respect the fact that the makers could keep me like that with such a linear story.
If we can produce that much concentration from our audience, we've hit the right spot.


I've provided links for other videos that interested me.

'History of the Word Nigger'
'History of the Middle East'
'History of the Chav'
