The pacing of the film is done perfectly, with the result that James Marsh creates a documentary full of suspense and thrills. The tension, like that of the wire itself, builds and at points becomes unbearable. This is despite the fact that we know the outcome! The combination, of old grainy footage from the 70s, which makes us feel as though we are there, and majestic live action shots that leave us in awe at their beauty, is transcendent. I also particularly enjoyed Marsh's use of split screen as I made a video recently exploring this technique.
