Last Year's A2 Level Documentary - Skin Deep

Conventions Used: 
  • Voiceover
  • Sped Up Footage
  • Interviews
  • Images with Ken Burns applied
Editing, Sound and Use Of Archive Footage:
  • Fast paced (non-diegetic) music
  • Jump cuts used throughout and fades at certain points
  • Editing made documentary seem fast paced
  • Used efficiently - lots of images of women who had tattoos
What went well?: 
  • Sped up footage
  • Knowledge/research of background information about topic
  • Title Sequence
  • Music and Images were in time with each other
What need improvement?:
  • The lighting in some of the interviews was quite poor but this could have been easily sorted out by changing the direction of filming or using a basic desk lamp/light to give the right lighting effect.
Documentary Type: 
  • Observational
