This part of the documentary is probably the most powerful, focussing on Tom's family life. It's in this half of the documentary that Jon Hopkins' "Small Memory" plays in the background, a solemn yet simple song that I feel adds to the emotion conveyed.
To create a more powerful effect I decided to edit the shots, cutting them at certain tones of the song and I felt this created an aesthetically appealing effect.
I tried to use a range of shots in this section, using close ups of Tom, as well as his aeroplane models and Lego. I decided that the best shot to use when Tom spoke of his suicidal depression would be the smashed Lego on his desk, which I feel connotates destruction and also conveys a sense that Tom's condition is beyond repair.
