Questions
1. This is documentation in the extreme: no sound or narration, just the progress of a butterfly getting its wings. It was created for the classroom, where a teacher could provide commentary. How would you describe what is going on in a narration?
2. Is it necessary for a documentary to express a point of view? If so, does this qualify as a documentary?
3. Imagine a soundtrack for the film. What music might create a mood? What would you choose, and how would it affect a viewer?
