This had a particularly large impact on me when I started to think about the various forms of documentary which interest me. The short but succinct insights into the lives of people on the street, I felt was used to great effect and is a device, the inspiration of which is very clear in our own piece, by way of using the various different buskers. The aesthetic of the piece is something which had an effect on our stylistic decision, that shines through particularly in our use of close ups and shots of the buskers  cases, boxes etc which they use for the collection of money.

Skatistan is another documentary which affected me greatly. The way in which it shows the affect that skating can have on peoples lives was a highly inspirational tool an it was i something i believed to useful to think about when trying portray the buskers in their surroundings.
