Encounters at the end of the world : by Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog gives a first person account of his trip to Antarctica and his encounters with the flora and fauna and people who have made Antarctica their home. He meets various people, some scientists, researchers, some just living there.
The music has a surreal feel to it which gives the documentary its rightful larger than life effect.Each part of the documentary has a story to it. A documentary I find difficult to put down in words. The music especially touched me the most. It reminded me of the movie ‘Abyss’.

use of tripod to capture panoramic views with panning.
Wide shots for nature.
Still camera
Compositons of frames
Hand held camera while following a researcher and the penguin.
