1. Before watching the film “Sharkwater” directed
by Rob Stewart, I assumed sharks to be one of the most dangerous animals in the
world. After watching this film I
realized; sharks are not the ones to be feared in the world, but instead the
humans. The people who are de-fining the sharks don’t realize how their actions
truly affect the world. It affects the world because it allows the viewer to
see just how cruel these people’s actions are. This film not only responds to
the unfairness of the sharks, but also to the unfairness of other animals that
are endangered throughout the world.
2. The director Rob Stewart made this film so
impactful by using many different techniques to capture the audience. One of
the main techniques he used was providing statistics of death rates created by
sharks, as well as other animals. This technique allowed the viewer to
understand just how unharmful sharks can be compared to other animals. Another
technique, which was used, was providing the audience with actual footage of
what really happens to the sharks once they are being de-finned. Watching the
footage made me realize how cruel people are to the sharks, and how little
regard they have for the sharks. The footage made me realize just how unethical
shark fining is.
3. As mentioned before, the use of footage where the sharks are being
de-finned allows me to make my decisions of how the people are treating the
sharks.
4. As much as I enjoy viewing documentaries, I
personally would not choose to make them as a career. Rob Stewart uses many
sources of technology throughout the making of this film such as different
camera techniques (undercover camera, underwater camera etc.), images, text,
and voice-overs.
