I picked this New York Times video because the title caught my eye. This video was a way of showing me that life isn't always easy and that other people have to find ways to survive. For example farmers in India have to grow crops and try to sell them in order to make money for their family. Unfortunately, they don't always have luck maintaining their crops since they also have to compete with India's monsoon season which kills most of their crops and leaving them with no or not enough money for the month. Farmers have a difficulty making enough food and making food prices rise.
Some film shots that they use to describe India's farm land helps us have an idea of what life is like for its people. An example is an establishing shot of the farm land with two people working in the fields harvesting crops by hand. Another shot that the director used was a close up shot of the crops, showing us that water wasn't able to drain from farm lands resulting in rotted crops. Mid shots are also used to see people harvesting crops by hand.
