"Empowering Women in Afghanistan"
Adam Ellick
In the province of Bamian, women are uprooting traditional gender roles by taking up leadership positions.


I like the final sequence of this short video because of the variety of shots, and also because the sequence serves the message of the story. The concept of a woman driving is a kind of metaphor for freedom, and it's a nice way to end a video about "empowering women." Also, the sequence makes a lot of sense logically, in that it starts with a car approaching and then follows as an Afghan woman gets into the car and drives away.

2:36 - wide shot of a car approaching, can't see who is driving
2:48 - medium/wide shot of woman getting into car
2:54 - medium/tight shot of a woman in the car, as seen from outside the car
3:07 - artistic medium shot of woman driving, seen in side mirror
3:15 - artistic detail photograph of a woman's face in the rear view mirror, as seen inside the car
3:18 - medium/wide shot of woman driving away
