Documentary analysis of "Burgers of Karachi"
There are many different types of interviews within this documentary, including paired interviews, one-on-one interviews, and virtual interviews. The video quality is visibly different between the in-person and virtual interviews, as well as the audio quality. Though the information that the virtual interviews provide is good, the difference in quality can distract the viewer. The graphics serve as a sort of transition between one topic to the next, such as when discussing how people start to identify as ‘burgers’ and then moving on to naming ‘burger schools’. It is a bit bright and flamboyant and doesn’t seem to fit the tone that the documentary transitions into after the short introduction with social media posts as examples. After the introduction is over, that style is lost but is then suddenly brought back in transitions. This could possibly be avoided by including (info)graphics throughout the documentary, especially if it’s meant to keep a light hearted tone, as assumed because of the fun outro. Background music is also included in the first part of the documentary but then is lost after one of the transitions. It is not a bad documentary by any means but there are small details that make a difference in how an audience perceives the information.
