Throughout my research I looked at several documentaries, however there were not which had the same genre as our project. For my anaylsis I looked Jamie's school which appeared on channel four.
At the beginning of the documentary they used an establishing shot cut with medium close ups, this works well because of it giving the audience an understanding of what they will be featuring. The use of long shot to introduce new teachers, this is another feature which works well as this shows that they have not been seen before. The use of frequent cuts to break up people talking works to break up the constant talking so that viewers don't get bored on the same shot.
This is a something which we will try an interpret into our production as we have included interview with firefighters which are for a long duration so including something similar to this will work so the viewers aren't bored by watching the same person talking.
Close up are to disguished certain angles and equipment, the set of the documentary is very artistic which is used for emphasis as they are wanting to show if this makes a difference to the understanding to how children learn. This is another shot which makes is similar to our production because we have got footage which is high action so close up of this is effective so that the audience can see the defination of the equipment used, this also further intensifies the action.
Within the first 41 seconds of Jamie's dream school they establish why they are using famous people to teach the problem children. our documentary differs from this because of the beginning of our production we have used the fire fighters going out on a call to create action so the viewers will keep watching, I think this works better becausse of it creating the unexpected suspence for the audience so that they don't know everything about the documentary before it has finished.
