Byline: Mark Kologi sells and collects a variety of images of personal forgotten pictures from strangers.

Theme: The video is based on memory and looking at images of peoples memories. Looking at his business of selling and his purpose. People sharing a bond with the images that Mark Kologi finds.

Structure: The video is based on memories. We are introduced to Mark Kologi who is the man that sells range of images from strangers. We take a look at his environment and where he sells his pictures. There are a couple of mid close up shots of Kologi talking about what he does and his thoughts. The video concentrates on the photos and memories that he collects and sells. The music is soft and works really well with the camera movement and the idea of the video.

Other Observations

I really like this camera shot and the depth of field as well. They focus deeply on this one image just to give the audience a sense of what they can expect from Marks photographs. I really like the depth of field used in this close up shot.

 Nice mid close up shot of Mark Kologi discussing his thoughts on photos and memories. They would of use a low f stop for this shot. We see that Mark is mainly in focus and the area around him is blurred out.

 I really like this long shot of Mark because we get to see him in his work environment. We see a range of images and stuff surround him which helps the audience to gain a sense of where he works.

Nice close up shot of the a small bunch of images that Mark collects maybe using a small aperture number. Mainly because we see the photos are in focus and everything else is a bit blurry.

This shot almost looks like a nice silhouette and its a nice back shot. We get to see outside. We see what mark has to look at everyday when he opens his garage door. It creates a nice intimate feel for the audience.
