re: Evangel Christian academy LA

I watch every documentary like this that i can find.

I tried, Lord knows I tried.

I made it through the second of six episodes and said “no more.” After a few days i gave episode three a try. That’s it for me.

This production seems too staged. I’ve seen plenty of documentaries where it seemed like those being filmed forgot the camera was there. The conversations seemed too contrived.

Of course when somebody was being interviewed I expected that person to know they were being filmed. I never got the sense that i was eavesdropping like i do in other documentaries so this didn’t come across as a behind the scenes documentary. If anything it could serve as a promotional piece for the school.

Every now and then a voice will come on saying he is part of the Evangel sports network. I’ve seen other documentaries where they used real clips from a radio broadcast. This voice is clearly not from a live broadcast. The person is reading from a script. Narration is just fine but don’t act like this is a clip from a sports network broadcast.

So, it’s the production that turned me off.
