There are so many things going right in this episode. The cinematography, the music, and the simple story combine together to produce a noteworthy show. Rule of thirds apply to most of the shots, but what is most interesting is the use of dutch angles. Although eschew, the frame still reads as beautiful as viewers look at the desert-like surface of Price and see from a different perspective how such a place is attractive. The plucky staccato beats from Micah's score breathe a playful, upbeat pace into the episode. The narrative focuses on one main story revolving around the dinosaur museum in Price. This tight focus on an intriguing aspect of Carbon County keeps the audiences attention while still relating to big ideas such as the lengthy history of life on planet Earth.
"Wayne County"
This episode plays with the creative boundaries documentarians are allowed to pushed when creating their own work. Just like Orson Welles did in F for Fake, the documentarians in "Wayne County" put on costumes and acted for the camera. However, this contrived truth was revealing a more internal truth. People have walked the surface of Wayne County in space suits, pretending as if they were trekking across an alien planet. By recreating these events, the documentarians were fairly representing reality rather than marring it.
