Pockets

Pockets is a short Doc about what the people of London have in their Pockets. This 3 minute piece offers a wide range of cultural points of view and seems unbiased in its representations. Not all items are explained and some don't need to be whereas others are left a complete mystery, this gives the doc a nice balance between personal stories and simple items therefore keeping the viewer interested and intrigued. The sound is nice and clear and a nice melodic cheerful song is playing in the background. Whilst all the camera work is nicely lit and composed I think focus pulls are overused in this piece, whilst they often disguise the item at first and then reveal or even just let the focus travel up and down the object it is used in almost every shot and becomes distracting. Overall it is a nice little short with a few laughable and heart warming tales and a little bit of mystery.
