i really liked this short documentary. it starts by really showing the passion that this man has for the records he's collected.
The documentary moves through a range of emotion from happy to sad when we find out that everything that he has achieved is undone because he has to give up his collection.
i also enjoyed the way Sean Dunne uses visual metaphors in this piece for example, at the end when all the lights are turning off, is almost a metaphor for the end of an era, the closing down of this mans shop and the end of the collection.
The music choices are very interesting as well, Dunne uses happy and lively music at the start of the piece and then towards the end he uses slower more emotional music towards the end when we find out that no one takes this man and what he has done seriously.
i think this documentary was very effective in portraying the message it sets out to put across.
