This documentary examines the music industry and how advertising influences audiences. It follows the career of Meatloaf in a non-linear format. Various filming and editing techniques are used including close-ups, archive footage, green screen, dissolves and montages. Interviews are framed conventionally with the subject's eyes 1/3 down and use low angles for Meatloaf to convey power. The documentary provides a single narrative that answers all questions by the end.

2. This type of documentary is mixed. The main
theme in this documentary is how powerful
the media can be and how the marketing and
advertising easily persuades the audience. It
reveals the uncovering of the music business.

3. This documentary is non-linear as it
does not follow a chronological order.
It is also a single strand as it only
follows one story line and finally, the
documentary is closed as questions
were all answered at the end.

4. There was always a conventional framing in relation to the
interviews. The interviewee’s eyes were always 1/3 of the way
down the screen regardless of the shot type.
Low angle shots were used for interviews of Meatloaf as this
reinforced power. Points of view shots, high angle shots and
panning shots were also used throughout the documentary.
Extreme close-ups were used for album front covers and chart
listings. Hand-held camera work was used throughout the
documentary; preferably at press conferences and award
ceremonies. It was also used so they could respond to action
quickly and easily.

5. The green screen also known as ‘chromakey’
was used a lot during the course of the
documentary. The screen always shown
images of Meatloaf of something to do with
Meatloaf in the background of every
interview. This also links to archive material
as it revealed magazine front covers, album
covers, posters and many more.

6. The voice over for the documentary was
male and seemed of a relevant age.
However, the male used jokes and
sarcasm throughout the documentary.
This could be perhaps to reflect
Meatloaf’s personality.
Upbeat music was played in the
background of the documentary as well
as Meatloaf’s own music.

7. There was a variety of editing techniques used
throughout the documentary. The most popular
technique was the dissolve effect. Montage
editing was used on the chart listing and cuts
were used throughout too. The interviewers
questions were cut out from the interview, this
could have been used to perhaps make the
audience feel like the interviewee was talking to
them directly instead of the interviewer.

8. Newspapers, magazines, market
research and album covers were
shown a lot. Meatloaf’s music
videos were revealed as well as
other artists music videos such as
Take That and The Village People.

9. The graphics shown in the documentary
were of the interviewee’s name and their
relevance to the matter. The graphics were
in a bold, white, clear font which was easy
to read and understand. There were also
graphics from the magazine ‘Music Bizz’
which was also linked with the editing.
