Today I'm reviewing another social experiment. This time it's trollstation's police brutality experiment. It's a video which carries a serious message but is not done to full potential.
Idea - 3/5
So the idea was to see how the general public will respond to an officer misusing their power. A basic, average idea but needed to bring across this message.
Execution - 3/5

| Trollstation's Gomes in action |
Trollstation have content at least 3 times a week. It's something they should be proud of but because of this sometimes video quality is compromised. Some positives in this video are that they don't have the fancy, soppy music, or a needless intro it's straight into the action, something I really enjoy about trollstation. The actual pulling of the prank was realistic but lost its flow as it neared the end. I felt like Gomes slightly lost character, however no credit should be taken away from him, Nathan and Daniel. The final edit didn't need much work and of course it needed the trollstation music. To me it wasn't horrific but it had the potential to do better.
Reaction - 3/5
My reaction was generally positive. One thing I enjoy about trollstation is how genuine the videos are. No hired actors or anything phony, Just pure reactions. I was happy to see the people in the video respond to the wrongdoing by the two officers. The two men who were vocal were rightly applauded. Overall I didn't really have a favourite part because it was one take.
Originality - No mark (Bonus Point)
Unfortunately there is another social experiment like this so no extra mark.
Total: 9/16
In conclusion a video I have mixed feelings about. With minor improvements it could've hit 10/11 and you may think not awarding the bonus point was hard. However a good attempt! Well done TrollstationYT.
