We've made it to our last 2 research posts, enjoy!
(Victoria Beckham, 2023)"Victoria Beckham", released in 2025 on Netflix shows Victoria Beckham's long way to fame (Victoria Beckham, 2025). This documentary series highlights her long journey from being a Spice Girl, a popular girl group in 1990s, best known for there catchy tunes and beats to being fashion designer (Victoria Beckham, 2025). She also balances her personal life with being a mother and wife. Netflix showcases her life through a 3-episode sequel and shows the good, the bad and dramatic events through her life (Netflix, 2023).
When reviewing the Victoria Beckham documentary, I really enjoyed the aspects of the roll footage and voiceovers to capture the concept of her life (Netflix, 2023). It shows how long she’s been within the media industry and where she is now (Netflix, 2023). To show this, we see magazines and video footage from past events dated back all the way when she was a kid (Netflix, 2023). Overall, these technical elements came together to create an overall good documentary.
(The Nacelle Company, 2017)"The Toys That Made Us", released from 2017-2026 on Netflix showed how toys shaped society (The Toys That Made Us, 2017–2019). This Netflix documentary series specifically highlights, the incredible minds behind some of the most memorable and iconic toys that people know today (The Toys That Made Us, 2017–2019). These include specific toy franchises and it commonly discusses some Positive and negative things that happened during the toy industry(The Toys That Made Us, 2017–2019).
On a technical note, I really like how it starts off showing multiple different logos And recognizable toys to capture and entertain the audience (ERiKC3000, 2018, 0.02). I really liked how the subjects are placed and interviewed in the back of a room where there’s various amount of toys and a variety of different types of toys (ERiKC3000, 2018, 0.03). For example you have Legos, Barbies and transformers, etc (ERiKC3000, 2018, 0.05).Another important aspect that I really liked is that they use historical b-roll footage to provide context and clarity. Lastly, I really liked how there was a variety of subjects interviewed to provide a varied perspective.
