Documentary analysis of "The Story of Tap Mun"

 The style of shooting in “The Story of Tap Mun” is very similar to that of a professional documentary. The formatting and sequence in which not only the interviews but the shots were presented to the viewer made the story more easy to digest. When introducing a new idea or setting, an establishing shot was depicted while a voiceover or interview played in the background. This allowed for the audience to contextualize the surroundings of the island before learning more information. The inclusion of point of view (POV) shots to further contextualize the audience and familiarize the audience to the setting makes the story flow more fluidly. The transitions between stories/ themes are clean cut and make sense, as well as keep the audience intrigued. The interviews also have connecting shots playing over them while the interviewee speaks, such as the bay while someone speaks of the fishing industry and immigration. 

All of this allows for people interested in travel, learning about new cultures, Hong Kong, or human interest to be able to easily access new information.
