This documentary starts with lots of short, fast-paced panning shots that grab the attention of the viewer straight away because they are accompanied by a non-diagetic voiceover starting to inform the viewer on what they are watching. Many luxurious places are shown in fast paced, panning long shots and these are short and informative. This is then followed by a longer shot that tracks upwards, following a arge hotel. There is fast paced music on in the background which suits the fast pace of the shots being shown. The structural conventions of a documentary is that they let you know a lot of information in a short amount of time, and this video fits this because all the information is being told quickly and the whole video is highly informative and very fast paced. Many high-angled shots of buildings are included in this video, which make the buildings seem larger than they actually are and therefore intimidating and suggests power, which is what they are trying to make Dubai seem like in the video.
Around a minute into this three-minute documentary, the voiceover starts to inform the viewers about a paticular building in the city they are showing. Many shots, which continue with the fast pace, are showing peope seemingly very interested in the building in a long shot, which connotates that the building is very interesting and therefore the viewers should be intreuged by what they are watching. The music in the background is uplifting, and inspirational. The conventions that this documentary doesn't include are the conventions of interviews, because barely anything is asked through the video and the only voice that can be heard is a non-diagetic voiceover giving many facts and statistics of the city the video is based around.
