Banksy's "Exit Through the Gift Shop"

     In Banksy's "Exit Through the Gift Shop", Thierry Guetta, a man who constantly has a video camera with him, starts recording his everyday life with his family. He progresses into filing street artist as they post there art on walls and buildings across the city. He finally ends up meeting Banksy and together they become a team.
     The elements in this film that are believable are the real footage that Thierry shot. You can see that Thierry recorded everything that he has ever done and it doesn't look fake at all. He used his camera to make his own history and eventually got together to make a documentary with all of his footage.
     Elements that are not believable would be the fact that Banksy appears in the film but you never see his actual face. With this in reason, you can never actually know if it is Banksy or not, you can only see the black hooded man in the documentary.
     The morale purpose of this documentary was to show a way of describing how street art appears out of know where, and also trying to think of who the real Banksy is and what he does.
