1. Britain’s secret Cannabis farms
- The documentary opens up with the main
presenter Rickie Haywood Williams
narrating as various shots of Cannabis,
himself and other things that are to come
within the documentary
- The editing is fairly fast paced which
matches the dance music in the
background and also makes it appeal to BBC3’s younger audience. These
both match the presenter who is young and a radio DJ.
- There are many shots of people smoking Cannabis which vary form
extreme close up to long shots. These help break up the documentary and
make it appear more interesting.
- Similar framing is used when various people such as those who smoke
Cannabis are being interviewed allowing looking room within the shot.
- Calm, dance and hip hop are all used during the documentary which helps
present the various emotions that various people feel while smoking
Cannabis.
- Group shots are used when Rickie interviews a group of teenagers form
Newcastle to show the whole group. I believe that this helps display that
many people do it and it’s not a rare situation.
- Music is also used to help display the different moods throughout the
documentary, for example at the start of the documentary, upbeat dance
music is used which gives an impression of excitement as the audience will
be curious to know what is yet to come in the documentary.
- During some interviews where there is an emotional story being told, there
is no music and the silence at various helps display the raw emotions that
the person is feeling when they’re talking about how it’s ruined their life.
- More filler shots are used of people smoking or simply walking down the
street as well as close up shots to help display the emotions of those who
Cannabis has ruined their lives.
