'Long Live The Kings' is a 2012 short documentary directed by Clement Beauvais, the documentary provides the audience with an insight into the hopes and desires of those who set out on a motorcycle road trip, personally I felt as if the short doc provoked themes of freedom as the beautiful wide landscapes were captured by the authentic feeling 16mm film camera. In my opinion I felt as if this documentary could be categorised as poetic due to it attempting to allow the audience to understand the emotions felt throughout the doc rather than informing them of how the individuals felt, the visuals displayed being a clear connotation of these vivid emotions. The major theme I felt the short doc projected was freedom, many of the wide moving shots of the bikers gave a real sense of the freedom among the bikers which I personally think was the aim of the film, these smooth flowing shots used frequently throughout gave us (the audience) the perspective of a biker as we gain an insight into the immersive backdrops surrounding the individuals in the film, allowing us to understand the freedom felt by the bikers without informing us through the use of a voiceover or other types of narration.
