Baraka

Baraka is a movie about the study of photography cinematography /. Baraka means “blessing.” There were no words to this film, but there were tribal songs, and sounds that reflected the graphic images. The subtle sounds were pleasant to listen to, mainly because it’s not often in our society that we hear the true sounds of nature. The cinematography was amazing; the shots captured the essence of what was being viewed. Slow camera movements added to the suspense for the next clip. The technique of time lapse was used when people were walking to work at an intersection. The graphic clips consisted of waterfalls, tribes, deserts, birds flying, mountains, snow, blinding sun, vivid rainbows, and massive explosions to name a few. This video captured some beautiful and disturbing images. I am not a big fan of appreciating art but this piece of work was brilliant and spliced together well.
