  • 1. Throughout theconstruction process wefollowed all the codes and conventions of the genre, therefore we have not challenged or developed these conventions

2. We used a male voiceover in our documentary becausewe didnt want to portray the stereotype that womenhave more fears than men The narrator speaks in Standard English and thenarration also acts as glue holding the elements of thedocumentary together to construct the narrative The narrator is of a relevant age to our target audience 3. The interviews are framed either to the left or rightof screen in either; medium close up, close up or bigclose up, depending on the mise-en-scene Our documentary Professional documentary 4. Cutaways were used to break up interview answers A variety of camerawork was used and on still imagesthe camera zooms to make it more visually stimulating 5. Cut is the main edit used in our documentary so that it does not distract the audience from the subject matterWe have also used cutaways after each question during an interview so that there are no jump cuts No fancy editing effects were used that maydistract the audience, the only effect usedwas the fade in and fade out of the graphics Fade to white is used after the title sequenceto make it more visually creative Questions from the interviews were editedout so that we could only hear their answers 6. Single strand Non-linear Music was used to create an atmosphere. For exampleduring the spider interviews we wanted it to comeacross as scary so we used the exorcist theme song. Wealso then used a Kings of Leon song so that it would besuitable and enjoyable for the target audience 7. Relevant to the topic. For example, for the spider interviews wecreated a collage of spiders to make the background moreinteresting and also we did it because they were filmed inmedium close up. For the fear of tall buildings, we filmed theinterviewee outside the largest Cathedral in England. Then forthe interview with the psychologist we just used a plain wall asthe background as he was filmed in big close-up 8. There are two lines; the first is the name and the second isthe relevance to the topic First line is a bigger type size than second Simple fonts and colours are used and they are consistentthroughout the programme as well as the length of time theyare on screen Graphics on title sequence are more creative than the rest
