For visual review nine I chose to focus on the Grandma Gamer 60 second documentary. The use of photos and street signs in the opening shots set the stage for the documentary. The viewer is immediately brought into the theme of the short though the use of captions and descriptors on screen. The grandma herself loves to play Skyrim and highlights the fact that the adventure and open world aspects are what keeps her playing. The director of the short highlights the shots of gameplay by adding real world images of the grandma wanting the forest and exploring. Overall, the Grandma Gamer documentary effectively gets the message of adventure and the importance of games on mental health across to the audience.
