During the interviews mid close ups and role of thirds were used
extensively but also with cut away to the observational footage.
5. MISE-EN-SCENE
The mise en scene always as to be relevant to what is on screen and
the documentary. If the woman is talking about a food bank have her
placed within a foodbank.
The majority of the documentary had low key lighting for mood so
that we could empathise for the people in poverty. The times when
this was not the case was when the people went to the food banks
and churches. This changed to high key lighting possibly because
these places show hope and optimism for these people.

Non Diegetic Sound:
Narration- Female voice using standard engluish with a kind tone.
This is because it allows everyone to understand the narration aswell
as allowing people to feel more appropriately to the documentary as
