One similarity I noticed was the use of shots. Both of the articles used a variety of depth shot when the person was being interviewed. Both of the articles had a good use of talking space. The interviewee was never off set unless he or she was moving around a bit. another similarity would be the use of tight shots I noticed in the bow making story the barley used any wide shots. in the movie rental story wide shots were used more but the camera man used a lot of tight and medium shots, just like in the bow making story One major difference I noticed was the use of sound. In the bow making story it had violin playing in the background almost all the time. In the movie rental story it had natural sound throughout the feature along with having interviewed two people instead of one.
