1. Conventions of documentary
Voiceover: To tell the audience the facts and usually have an
authoritative voice allowing the audience to think they are experts on a
particular subject that the makers are passionate about. The voiceover
often is persuadable for the audience to be persuaded on what they are
showing is real and is a issue.
Actual footage: To show the audience the real footage of the situation
so its from a first hand experience and they get to witness the real
events of the situation.
Interviews with experts: To show the audience that there is concerns
from the professionals viewpoint to prove that its an issue.
Use of titles: To make the audience aware of events, locations, times
and dates.
Sound: Non-diegetic sound provides flow between scenes but helps to
further influence audience at particular moments and diegetic sound
allows the audience to see and hear what is happening.

2. Modes of Documentary
Observational - Appears to show the real thing with no
interviews just the real event of the situation. The characters in
the footage may not be aware of the camera so it makes the
footage more realistic so the audience see the realism of the
situation and observe the events. We will be following the youth
on several events they do to show the audience how the issue is
raised.

3. Modes of Documentary
Reflective – We will be highlighting a issue that the audience will
be familiar with and encourage them to agree with a youth’s
perspective of life on social networks, how they use it and how it
may influence them in the real world. We will also have
discussions with the youth to reveal their feelings on the issues
surrounding them.
