2. My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding is a British Documentary that
is broadcasted on Channel 4, it was first shown on
Television in 2010 and after a successful series of 5
episodes they began filming for a second series in 2012.
The documentary looks at the world of Gypsies and
entertains it viewers through the use of its wild dresses
and comedic effect. It also had a Christmas Special in
2011 which proved to be a hit with the viewers.

3. My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding was produced using the
expository mode, effectively this mode generally uses
voiceovers, and presents information to the audience.
Interviews occur with generally subjective accounts
revealing, not personal information which would be
evident in reflexive documentaries but instead memories
are explored and opinions about upcoming events. This
documentary can also be produced in the observational
style as it looks and follows Gypsies lives throughout
whilst also exposing what they do.

4. The interviews throughout the documentaries look at
people’s memories, they also offer a personal thought
throughout. The interviews that take place change
locations, they do not remain in the same place at all
time. The audience effect of this is that the interviews
portray their feelings which can emotionally attach an
audience to that person or event.

5. Channel 4 is home to a variety of different
documentaries, the most notable are “Supersize vs
Superskinny”, “Wild Things”, “24 hours in A & E”. The
majority of Channel 4 documentaries look at current
realistic events that are taking place, and the challenges
with life and events. Most of Channel 4’s documentaries
use the expository mode because it gives off an emotional
reaction to the audience. This is something I will be
bearing in mind for my documentary when I look to use
the expository mode of documentary.
