Narrative Structure Beginning: They had a lot of interviews to

introduce the documentary, which is different form vox pops.

Camerawork

The camera pans to make the audience look away from the ambulance.

It zooms in on the bombing a lot, for cut aways

The close up of the dead bodies makes the spectator feel emotion towards the situation

Mise-En-Scene

The interviewees were men in suits, to show their importance

When Barack Obama stands in front of the red carpet, you can see USA flags and chandeliers, so that the audience will know that he has a high status in America.

Sound

They used background music all the way through the documentary and the music increases whenever the audience are shown something bad

They also use the Voice of God throughout the film, to educate the audience on what is happening

Editing

to make the film more emotive They used green screens for the
