My experiment videos:

The main concept of my very first experiment video (see pervious post)
is about the explosion within a container, it is kind of the concept of firework.
Several amount of oil drums and dynamites were placed in a container,
the aim of this video is investigated that
the result of the porosity and explosive direction of the fractional piecesafter explosion.

For pushing this experiment further,
the comparison of explosions
- between the oil drums in container and free standing on the ground
was made in the final video in terms of investigate that,
which placements of oil drums would reach the greater porosity after explosion.

In the final experimental video,
same amount of oil drums and dynamites were put in different position,
their fractional pieces have different porosity after explosion.

The fractional pieces of oil drums and dynamites which placed on the ground
were spurted out everywhere without a certain direction,
and their porosity is great.

In turns, the fractional pieces of explosive objects in container
were intensively popped up to the sky
and the porosity is less than the free standing one.

The result of this experiment is
the porosity would be greater if there are not obstacles near by the dynamites
during the explosion.
Moreover, the direction of exploded fractional pieces can be controlled
by putting explosive objects into a container,
that is what firework does.

The type of documentary:

As Bill Nichols described that Expository Documentary
is the expression of specific idea
basing on the interact of explication and image/video,
in terms of prevail with the audiences
to acknowledge the film maker’s view point.

In my final movie,
a clear concept of the experiment was established by
the explanatory statements and evidential video clips,
thereby it should belong to the Expository Documentary
