Reflections on Crips and Bloods
Strengths:• A story full of drama• Community is clearly defined• While not exactly participatory, it has fantastic
characters / interviewees, and makes full use of them
• Director clearly has the trust of the interviews (they seem to be confessing to murder)
• Clear conflict• Use of archival footage• Stills mixed with video• Use of music from the ‘hood
Reflections on Crips and Bloods
Problems:• not sure about the structure – it bounces around
from the history to the present a lot• too much Ken Burns effect
