Colour Outside the Lines
Mode-Reflexive? Looks
at the history of black tattoo artists and how things have changed
for them, and how they are now more accepted.
Mise en scene-People in
tattoo shops, their art in the background on the walls. Visible
tattoos when talking to the camera. People tattooing people. Tattoo
guns, latex gloves, tattoo ink, tattoo drawings on walls.
Camera work-Medium/
Medium long shots when talking to the camera. Fade from a long shot
of the woman to a close up of her tattoo. Lots of close ups of
tattoos on different people and of tattoo equipment such as ink and
tattoo guns.
Editing- Voice over of
a woman tattoo artist talking about her career as a tattoo artist.
People talking about their work in an interview over them tattooing.Shot reverse shots of people being interviewed then to their tattoos or tattoo equipment in the shop they're sat in, and then back to them being interviewed.
How this documentary
could help us-The main focus of this documentary is the background of
black tattoo artists in America and how they started off in the
tattooing career, and also how hard it was for them to get into the
business when they did. The use of close ups of tattoos and the
equipment they use could be useful to get ideas for our own
documentary as I believe using close ups of tattoos may be effective
within our documentary. Also as it focuses on black people and their
struggle when first starting off in tattooing around 20 years ago,
which I personally never knew was an issue, this helps to show that
there are/have been stories and struggles for people, not only for
people with tattoos and getting careers because of this, but also for
people and their careers within the tattooing industry.
