Skateboarding's biggest family: The Shecklers

Begins with observational shots of the brothers skating outside

• Ryan gives his insight to skateboarding through a seated interview. He claims that skateboarding is "All I know"

• Focus pull is used to show the brothers: Ryan in the foreground, and Kane and Shane in the background
• Archive pictures are used to show the brothers as a family unit when they were younger
• The observational style is used again with the use of dialogue and light hearted music

 

• Slow motion shots are used to observe the brothers as they perform different tricks
• This is accompanied by upbeat music and the sound effect of skates rolling

 

• This sequence ends with Ryan and Kane discussing the tricks they performed 

• I like how this shot creates a silhouette effect

• I like the use of lighting in this shot during the sunset

• In this shot the camera was static as Ryan skated past
