2. THE MAFIA WITH TREVOR MCDONALD
HOMELESS DOCUMENTARY
In this documentary Trevor McDonald clearly explains and ask very
detailed questions to the people he was interviewing.
Throughout the interview he was giving interview to the people
involved of the topic he was covering
In addition Trevor spoken very formally and politely, This told me he
was well educated and came prepared.
Trevor wasn’t scared of asking questions that involved violence and
crime.
Throughout the documentary the interview were prepared
professionally
Trevor never relaxed or sat down in the documentary which told me
he was on edge
Their was a collage of past news stories at the start of the
documentary
The homeless documentary was at a slower rate compared to the
Trevor McDonald documentary.
The guy presenting the documentary also was affected by the topic
which was different to Trevor McDonald.
Also the documentary wasn’t done professionally which told me it
gave a first person view throughout and he always held the camera
when he gave questions.
The presenter can relate to some of the victims involved
A lot of mid shots and close up shot were used.
It was very realistic and showed the living condition of the people that
were involved
The presenter didn’t have a posh accent and was a very normal
person in which you would meet on the street
He wasn’t scared to ask additional questions if needed and if they
were personal questions
He interviewed only at night for some reason which is different to
Trevor McDonald.
