In the beginning of the documentary there is interview taken place. This interview is used to help the figure out what the topic is about and also to help to the audience understand the opinions of some people. Besides the interview, text and titles have been used to help the audience identify who the person is and what rank of status they are. We also noticed at the background of the beginning interview there is the school logo. This displays that he represents the school and to show the audience the school logo. The next few shots show the diversity between students studying there. The next few shot are a montage of shots which show different student both listening and learning, taking part in activates and doing practical work. Also the montages we see also show different departments within the actual school.

Tupac and biggie (conventions found)

In this documentary archival footage was used to show the death of Tupac and biggie smalls because when we see the crime scene and when the person on a police radio is explaining causalities of both Tupac and biggie we understand that they were murdered and the entire documentary would be about the mystery of their murderers. This was used to aware the audience of Tupac and Biggies death by showing a historical moment. Throughout this documentary a voice over is used to help set the scene whilst actual shots across the city are shown. Also to help the viewer’s understood a little more. Another convention found would be the interviews. Here people involved in Tupac and Biggies life and been interviewed by the directors of the documentary to gather information about specific scenes in their lives. This was used to make the documentary more persuasive and realistic because it was taken from real people with real opinions.
