The Janitor

Above: Still from The Janitor

The Janitor is a short documentary by Josephine Anderson which has some good ideas but I think could be improved in certain areas. The lighting in some of the shots is not considered and the composition and structuring of the story is plodding. I think this could have been improved by further interviews with a wider range of students, as it becomes a little repetitive and even just the use of close ups to create a more dynamic feel and break up the interviewee's would help the piece flow and give it a better pacing.
I particularly liked the camera on the cleaning cart in the still shown above but I think this could have been used to a greater effect than it was.
