Tattoo Documentary
In preparing for the documentary project coming up I decided to look around for some films that involved tattooing in some form or another and I found one called Tattoo Ink produced by Bob Shami. For my documentary I plan on looking at tattoo culture and I was hoping to take some inspiration from this particular film, among others. After watching it I found some things that I really liked (such as in their style: certain effects, lighting in specific situations, the plethora of people that were interviewed/talked to etc.) and I also found some things that I really did not like (for example, there was about, at least, 15 minutes of footage that had what seemed like a background effect or even a fade effect of wierd numbers running across the screen. I thought it was a mistake on my computer, or with the download, untill I later realized that it was an intentional decision made for the film). I also really liked how much of the documentary was filmed at an actual tattoo convention, giving the audience a feel for the subculture and what it is all about.
