The documentary was unique in that there wasn’t an insane amount of footage to work with, which was cool because it added to this mystery of where is sugar man. It portrays him as this mysterious character that we end up becoming so interested in and want to see more.
There was different kinds of footage used: original live action footage, archival videos/photos, and animations. The animations were my favorite because i’ve began to become so interested in this tool of expression. It helps to fill in gaps in the film and created this image of Sugar Man as a fictional character, although he is very much real.
The music was excellent, it created the mood and made him so much more powerful and important.Â
I liked how they have all these shots of him walking across the frame, it also added to this idea of this man on the move that no-one can catch.
