5. Hand held camera was used
during observational and
actuality footage to create a
sense of realism
Establishing shots are used
e.g. when talking about
‘Yours, you would see a shot
of outside a ‘Yours’ shop.
These show the audience
the location
On still images the camera zooms
in and crabs slightly to add interest
to the visuals
Long shots and
close ups add
variety for the
audience
Different camera techniques such
as panning and crabbing are used
to create more interesting visuals
6. When one of the plus sized women
talks about her fitness, you can see
the gym and equipment in
different shots. In the interview with Alla Bunowicz, there is
clothing in the background which is relevant to
the theme of fashion and clothing
In the interview with
managing director
Fiona Ross, she is
wearing a smart suit
which is relevant to her
job status and the
theme of fashion
7. Lisa Riley is relevant to
the topic because she
was a plus sized
woman who lost
weight
She spoke in with a
level of interest in her
tone and provided
info including
statistics.
‘1 in 4 women buy
plus sized’
There was diegetic sound that
came from interviews and
observational footage
8. This video clip shows
how cutaways are used
in editing. Whilst Tess is
speaking, the camera
cuts away to footage of
her trying on clothes and
looking at her model
shoots.
This makes the
documentary more
visually appealing and
illustrates points
being made by
interviewees
Straight cuts are used
in editing to create a
flowing structure of
different scenes. It also
allows unnecessary
scenes to be removed
or shortened.
The screen flashes
to white when going
to archive material,
this looks more
visually appealing.
There are montages made from
observational footage and
archive footage
The editing is used to
create a structure for
both sides of the
argument
9. There isn’t lots of archive footage but
that is because the documentary is set
and based in present day so there isn’t
much need for it.
10. The title of the
documentary appears on
the screen
As is conventional, graphics are
used in interviews with the name
of the person at the top and their
relevance to the topic at the
bottom
There is graphics at the end of
the documentary when the
credits appear on the screen
