 This is a narrator who is never seen on
  screen.
 The gender of the ‘Voice of God’
  narrator must match the subject matter.
  For example, in ‘That thing: Lara Croft’ (a
  documentary about a video game) the
  narrator is male as video games are a
  stereotypical male interest.
   The people interviewed formally must be relevant to the subject
    matter. For example, in ‘Killer Instinct’ (A documentary about
    murder cases) several forensic analysts, police officers and
    criminal profilers are interviewed about the case.
   The mise-en-scene in also important. The setting of the interview
    must also relate to the subject matter of the documentary.
   The person being interviewed must not look directly into camera.
    They are usually sat at an angle, facing the person conducting
    the interview.
   Interviews are traditionally filmed in a mid-shot or medium close
    up.
   Vox pops are interviews that take place with random people on
    the street. These interviews do not have to be in a relevant
    setting or with relevant people, but usually still conform with the
    interviewee not looking directly into camera and are mostly in
    mid shot.
   Cutaways are also common in interviews as they both illustrate
    the point being made and keep the audience’s attention.
 Most documentaries only use a small
  amount of graphics.
 The one form of graphics that all
  documentaries use is the name (and
  usually their occupation/ how they are
  relevant to the subject) of the
  interviewee at the bottom of the page.
 All documentaries use music to create a
  certain atmosphere.
 The music often matches the mood of
  the documentary.
 The opening sequence is used to set the
  scene. It explains what the documentary
  is about.
 The middle section expands on what is
  shown in the opening by going into
  detail about the subject of the
  documentary.
 There is a variety of types of endings.
 Editing is used to create dramatic conflict.
  This is often done by editing together two or
  more interviews with people who have
  opposing opinions so the audience is shown
  two or more different side to the argument.
 Cutaways are heavily used in most types of
  documentary as they keep the viewers
  interest during interviews and also hide any
  jumps where footage has been edited out.
   All documentaries have set themes.
