Watching the Extremis documentary on Netflix was a rollercoaster of heavy emotions. The camerawork behind the short film really made one feel as if they were in the shoes of the ones going through the experience. The warmth of the angles and the camera movements really captures the essence and heart behind all the family members involved in these situations and really shows the dedication of the doctors, nurses and every staff member on site trying to make the whole process of everything easier on those it would affect the most.
I loved the use of noise used as well. the sounds of the hospital monitors that would at times be louder than the actual voices I believe really symbolized the voices of those in the thought spot. Sometimes it may feel like you don’t have have a voice, just because they don’t know exactly what to say however their decisions are the ones that could change the directory of the process. I think the film did the brilliantly. I also think it was a good move to make each story so different from the other however, they all had the same decision to make.
Each story was heart wrenching but I believe they did the families justice in this short film.
