Badly Drawn Roy

Badly Drawn Roy is a parody of the standard documentary style. A style which is not based on props and actors but has a narrator telling the story, and conducting interviews with his subjects. The point of this style of documenting is for the viewer to see the film makers subject from an outside view, but as they watch the film the viewer is brought in to feel like they know the subjects as they see them in every day life and learn how they feel and think. The only draw back from this style of filming is the content can be very biased, as the film maker is trying to make a point about his subject he also has the control to choose the footage that the viewer see's, so the film maker can controls what the viewer sees, so then the viewer gets the film makers views and opinions from the film.
Badly Drawn Roy is taking the rules and conventions for standard documentaries, but given his film an edge, by have the subject of his story a cartoon. Which comes across as a ludicrous idea, but the way the film is shot makes the story almost feel believable by the way the actors show their emotions in a way people do in standard documentaries.
Badly Drawn Roy has given me ideas to think outside the box when it comes to documentary film making, the idea of trying to come up with something different to the norm but still convey my ideas a thoughts.
