AS documentary

Here are the clips we analysed:




Codes & Conventions:
1) Each answer expands on previous one, either developing or adding points to the current topic.
2) Interviews are edited together to create a coherent narrative.
3) Speakers look at the interviewer, not the camera.
4) Questions are usually edited out of the final production.
5) Graphics containing the name and title of the interviewee (e.g. John Doe, Murder Expert) are used, placed in the bottom corners or across the bottom of the screen.
6) Cut-away images illustrate the spoken points, such as images of a hotel when it is brought up.
7) Mise en Scene of the background is relevent to the subject.
8) Usually only one interviewee is on screen at a time.
9) Rule of thirds is employed, with the eyes on level with one of the upper focal points.
