Between the three short documentaries, the stylistic choices differ greatly. The newest one on Netiquette in Korea took on a newsy feel. The purpose of this documentary is obviously to inform, but it’s somewhat irrelevant to me since I am too far-gone to save from internet etiquette (I’ll do as I please), and I also don’t have children currently so I don’t really need to worry about educating my children on how to behave and use the power of the internet responsibly. Unlike the other two documentaries, this one doesn’t appeal to my emotions, except maybe the entertainment from watching and listening to these Korean 7 year olds sing about “Netiquette.” 

The way it was shot was very bland compared to the others, no filters, no interesting transitions or cuts, as if it’s just trying to get the information across. As far as other stylistic choices, it was smart of them to use a voice over of the Korean instructor speaking, which is totally useless to the audience of this video, who are mostly Americans. There are tracking shots where the camera is following the host and his interviewees, and also shots than pan in and out inside the classroom, there aren’t really many transitions, mainly just cuts onto the next thing. Another thing that differs between this documentary and the other two we watched in class is that you actually see the interviewer. We are following him around and it is as if we are looking through his eyes at what’s happening around him in this Korean elementary school environment. So instead of thinking of a camera, a camera man, or not thinking at all about who is conducting and filming the interview, it is quite obvious to us and contributes to the news-type feel of the documentary.
