Alright, well- I finished watching Artifact, a documentary on the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars' record problems with their label company. After watching it, I just gotta say- it is so damn interesting! Throughout the entire documentary, I was glued onto the screen with interest. The way it was filmed and told onto the screen- the music they have used is somewhat rock and at times a smooth techno. The way it got information to the audience was so sublime and creative. The entire time I was shocked and intrigued. I didn't think any shots or audio was out of sync or needed improvement. Honestly, if I wanted to make a documentary- this is the kind of style I would want it to be in (even though I already finished the documentary project in a different kind of style). You know who's who and you know what the main goal is, and throughout- It was just an intense viewing. The only other memorable documentary I really liked was Life Itself, the documentary about Roger Ebert, but- I think Artifact is a re-watchable one. Without a doubt. They did use a lot of ethos in Artifact and hell lot of pathos- these guys are artists, and they don't earn a cent from their work cause of corporate greed. That hits you right on the heart- and it also had a lot of logos, explaining why some things were done the way they were. By the end, you're glad that the band got their way after a LONG journey against the label company- but, you kind of understand how the company works- you gotta pay for everything somehow. Someone's going to have to pay for all of it. This documentary has shown me a different kind of viewing towards music artists who put their dedication, their heart and soul into their musical fusion craft, and the consumers (people) and the company just take advantage of it. It's almost pretty sad in a way. Nonetheless, it's still an amazing documentary that has to be seen by fans of Thirty Seconds to Mars, music lovers (technically everyone), aspiring filmmakers- everyone needs to see this documentary, it's not good, it's excellent. It very much so deserves an A.
