Q1.

The start

By watching professional documentaries at the start of the course, this gave us a clear understanding of how to communicate the codes and conventions though our own products. We watched; ‘The Devil Made Me do It’, ‘The Music Biz: Meatloaf’ and ‘That Thing: Laura Croft’.

We also went away watched and analysed some other documentaries of our own, so that we had a much accurate idea of what the codes and conventions were.

Type Of Documentary

Our documentary was a mixed as it uses a combination of; interviews, observation, achieve material and graphics. All of our interviews were observational, as the interviewee would look at the person asking the questions rather than the camera, making it look as if the camera was not there. Also we used achieve material from the film; ‘Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory’ intending to add variety and depth to our product. We also viewed that many other documentaries used achieve footage, and they also used observation.

We also had a narrator known as the voice of god, as you cannot see them, but they explain what is happening in important parts of the documentary.

Theme

Are documentary’s main focus was confectionary , however we also added conflict into our product, to show the different effects sweets can have on you. This was used in documentaries such as ‘The devil made me do it’, as the documentary was about how Marilyn Manson's influenced young teenagers, through his violent actions towards god and his music.
