Type Of Documentary

Footage, A range of elements that support the opinions, Narration
and Interviews.
Theme
The theme of this Meat Loaf Documentary is mainly about music as
a whole but also contains factors of the Awards Ceremony's and how
Music is Marketed across the world. Meat Loaf did a lot of
promotional work for his albums so it could get heard across the
whole world, this may of cost him a lot of time and money but as we
see it makes his tracks get heard.
Sound and Editing
Non Diegetic sound was used throughout the Documentary this was
of Meat Loafs songs which were played in the background of nearly
every seen. The Diegetic sound that we heard was from the
interviewee's talking and in some cases Meat Loaf when he was
acting for some of his music video scenes. We did not hear a
Narrator in this documentary but the Interviewee's often spoke over
the cutaways which what they were saying related to so Narration
was not needed.
Narrative Structure
There was a person Narrating over the top of the documentary but
also the Interviewee's were talking over a lot of the clips.
CAMERA WORK
Most of the interviewee's were shot to one side of the frame
with a blue screen in the background. In one section of the
Documentary we see that the camera flips one of the interviewee's
from one side to the other which is a big mistake to make.A shot of
people sat around a table makes them look like important
people.There was live concert footage which gives us a feeling as
if we were there at the time experiencing it.
Panning shot across the high street which shows some of the
marketing strategies.
