NEA - Applying theory to my current product

  • My documentary is very much in the observational mode, as the viewers are able to make their own judgements without the input of a 'host' narrator. This reflects the educated audience of BBC Three, as they would prefer something more subtle than this style of narration.
  • The reflexive documentary type is also very clear to see in my documentary, as the narrative is carried by those that feature. I would like to make this clearer in my website, by putting emphasis on the fact that the young artists were an integral part of the storyline and structure of the documentary.
  • John Grierson's theory also applies to this documentary, for example in the tracking shot of Jasmine and Gram from behind as they are walking through the park.
