Technical Analysis of a Documentary 2

This short documentary 'What do I desire?' features many conventions of a typial documentary. The establishing shot features white typing on a black background, which is a fairly plain font, and the simplistic nature of it makes it seem more effective to be attention seeking. This is then followed by some close-up shots and a non-diagetic voiceover, which is conventional for this type of a film, because it gives information and that is what documentaries do. Through the film, there is a voiceover through the whole thing and lots of close-up and tracking shots, not showing anything paticularly substantial to the narrative but still keeping the viewers attention. It also features quite a lot of acting being captured in reflective shots. Instead of a normal documentry which would involve asking people and seeking information, this documentary tends to inform its viewers by information that is already known by the filmmaker. The target audience for this film would be people of an older age, because it is quite a high intellect level and would be for the more mature audience. You can tell this by the typ of terminology used within the whole film, and the reflective types of shots and angles that have been captured with the camera. This is similar to the kind of thing i would like to make- it is different to normal documentrys in that it doesn't have a lot of typing on the screen and it doesn't involve interviews. However, it is still just as captivating and the way it has been edited (very smoothly put together) keeps the audience interested.
