Research- Narragansett Park: The History of a Great Racetrack

This is a short homemade documentary about the history of one of New England's grandest horse racetracks. From what it was in the 1930s to what remains of it in present day times.

 

 

Above is a video about New England's own Narragansett Park. Below are various aspects and conventions I wanted to highlight.

 

• You can tell that the video is homemade and not made 'proffesionaly' because of the lack of video footage throughout and only the use of pictures. 
• Although many of the pictures are blurry the transitions between are used well.
• The voice over that tells the story of the racetrack can be heard clearly and is recorded to a fairly good quality. However you can hear the little 'jumps' in between the changes and when played, the background music is a little too loud and you cannot hear the woman as clearly.
• There is some writing with some pictures to help you understand but the writing is white and so cannot be seen very well due to many of the pictures being old fashion- black and white.
•  Overall you can tell that this was deffinately not aired on any TV network and there is minimal editing within the actual video, it's mainly just picture transitions and background music.

Although not the most inetesrting and well produced documnetary it does have some good points such as the voice recordings, despite not joining them very well and at 7:56 it is a good length for what I'm looking at.
