First documentary analysis

This documentary is on fashion show plus sizes. The style of the documentary is formal, with a narrator and interviews.




This transition was used right at the start of the documentary. The blur is used just before me meet the main speaker of the documentary, it blurs from a young women dressed smarlty to the speaker. It sets the tone for the start of the documentary.





A prop is used early on in the documentary. The prop is a microphone it suggests to the audience that they are watching a documentary and that perhaps there will be interviews later on in the documentary however i do think i would have looked better if the main speaker was wearing a microphone rather than holding one. 






Three shots are placed side by side here, it backs up what is being said in the documentary at the time by the narrator. It is empahzing the point that plus woman can be models too.










A zoom is used in the documentary to add and create effect, also later we find out that the woman who had been zoomed in on is the woman being interviewed so this was done to start a building point in the viewers mind just before the interview. 






In the picture above you can clearly see the differences in costume between the model and the narrotor of the documentary. The model is wearing a nice dress and she looks like she just stepped off the catwalk and the narrator is just in smart/casual clothing. 






Lighting is used here jsut behind the models to emphasis them as they first step out on to the catwalk looking lovely.




The main speaker, talks in a formal tone with a light hearted warm feel. She uses standard English and precieved pronunciation. Also this is the perfect way to frame an interview and the interviewee is also talking in a formal tone.





The logo for the documentary comes up at the end of it, the colour scheme is blue and white. There are pulsing graffics behind the logo (BBC radio) and the font is big and bold with capital letters for the words 'newsbeat.'
