Hey sir... im struggling with the coursework on analysing documentaries can i have some help please? Do you have an example cos im so unsure what im writting, i have watched my 3 documentaries.Just need help!!!
The textual analysis is there to show that you have a solid understanding of documentary. Using the previous handouts (the bowling for columbine et.c.), try to determine the mode of address and typical conventions used in your chosen texts.
You can also discuss the representation of groups etc. (remember: documentary is only a construct of reality, not reality itself).
Also discuss how effective the documentary is and some thought on the broadcaster is also useful. The channel which has comissioned the documentary may have some impact on the content; for example, would the same style of documentary be on BBC1 and Channel 4?
