Made You Look is a creative documentary, created to draw attention to the useage of manual techniques in a digital age and to show how it is still relevant even with many digital techniques.
There were more things I disliked about this documentary than things that I liked.
I disliked the way it was shot and I found that there was a lack of speed, it all felt very slow, drawn out and made me not enjoy watching the processes that were shown in the film. I feel like music could have been used to a far better advantage to get people excited about the creative industry (which is an exciting vibrant thing isn't it really?). The way it was all presented dulled it down. I know they were trying to show how great these processes were but they could have done more to liven it up, it tried to hard to be an edgy art film and to be different but all I saw was (at least 3) people asleep in the lecture theatre so I think it missed its audience (so it missed it's point a little). (but I am a film snob so it could be that too.)
The things I did like about the film were the range of creatives that they spoke too and the large range of production and process that was shown. It did highlight how manual textural work can still be relevant in a modern day and age. It was also nice to see bigger studios getting involved with what was essentially a small scale film and trying to bring the audience in to their worlds.
