3. Narrative Structure
The documentary has an open structure
Kenny’s life and career is ongoing so
there is a future so it is open
It is single stranded
It is also circular as it is talking
about his whole life
4. Camerawork
In the interviews a lot but not all
had a shallow depth of field.
There were establishing shots
used which gives the audience
understanding and also context
E.g. of Las Vegas or Glastonbury.
There are lots of different shots in the
observational footage such as long shots
and medium close ups. This makes it
entertaining for the audience E.g. when
Kenny is performing at a festival.
There is a motion on still photos
which makes the image visually
appealing.
5. Mise-en-scene
The mise-en-scene in the documentary is
used to provide relevance to a topic
Mixing desk
Awards
Piano
Newspaper clippings and
photographs all relevant and
illustrate points

drives the narrative and links tpics
together.
Digetic sound:

acts as a sound bridge)
7. Editing
Questions are edited out to create a flow, so
it looks like the interviewee is talking freely
Observational footage is used
to cover jump cuts (these are
called cut aways)
The editing is used also to add to
the fast pace of the documentary
There are mainly straight cut transitions and flashing light
transitions (these are used as they link to how Kenny has had
a career in the spotlight)
