Three artistic video critiques

"Life as a Terp" "The Traffic Warden" "the Elevator" The video I chose to critique is "the Traffic Warden", a film by Donald Rice. It documents a day in the life of a traffic warden in the UK, and how they are treated. Traffic wardens are not necessarily treated with much respect, and this particular man is definitely being kicked when he's down and out. This film also documents what could possibly be the worst day in ones life, and yet turn out to be the best. I chose this video particularly out of a bias; I LOVE David Tennant (the traffic warden), and it was just too easy. Going by the film being a traffic warden is almost like being a beat cop, you're the lowest of the low or you screwed up so bad that you got stuck with the job that no one wants. The film is a vignette about various people in this village, but centers around the traffic warden and a mother. It documents the eye witness moments that usually pass us by because we're in too much of a rush to get somewhere. It also shows how we mistreat each other, especially those in a position of authority. Clearly this traffic warden hates his job and hates his life, but at the end life works out in his favor.
