The documentary Super Size Me uses facts, professionals, and Morgan Spurlock's deteriorating health to emphasize the dangers of McDonald's food. It aims to convince viewers that eating only McDonald's for a month has serious negative health effects. The documentary about McLaren uses interviews, footage of the factory production process, and enthusiastic descriptions to promote McLaren's high-end cars. Dangerous Companions features upbeat music and footage of Kevin Richardson playing with lions without signs of training to portray the close bond between humans and lions and show that man and beast can live in harmony.

2. DOCUMENTARY 1 – SUPER SIZE ME

3. SUPERSIZE ME
- Soundtrack at the beginning quite dramatic, building up to his
McDonald’s challenge.
- Facts used to show audience how populated the world is with
McDonald's emphasising it’s danger
- Professionals used to show the ‘realism’ of the experiment to
convince the audience the harsh reality.
- Voiceover highlights and emphasis when he’s not feeling well,
sympathy is created during hence audience start believing hating
McDonald's
- The length of the documentary (Part 1 + 2) contributes to the
documentary’s purpose as the more information given the bigger
the impact
- Interview with experts to authenticate the views of McDonald's as
being harsh and unhealthy.

4. DOCUMENTARY 2 - MCLAREN

5. MCLAREN DOCUMENTARY
- -Voiceover is quite expressive in the terms of, describing the
features of the car with exaggeration e.g. “The 1001 hand-made
pistons” and terminology which is sophisticated trying to establish
the brand as high-class enticing the audience to buy the finish
product
- Soundtrack isn’t used too much, the exception when the car is
actually being built.
- Interview with the company workers, can be seen as biased due to
the fact each interview is clearly boasting the product. This is done
to stick with the documentary’s purpose (sell the car.)
- Mise-en-scene – The actual factory is shown, showing the audience
the entire process allowing them to witness first-hand which
hopefully would attract customer to buy the product more.

6. DOCUMENTARY 3 – DANGEROUS COMPANIONS

7. DANGEROUS COMPANIONS
- Soundtrack is up-beat lively to reflect the relationship between
K.Richardson and lions but also the positive attitude of the lions. Also adds
to the purpose of the documentary to make Lions seem sociable and
friendly and that man and beast can live in harmony.
- Voiceover is seen as ‘supportive’ as it fills in for what K.Richardson isn’t able
to express such as Lion names, birth, age etc.
- Interview with the Lion professional (K.Richardson himself) to express his
relationship with the lions and how he feels about them (positive tone used
throughout)
- No facts/titles used (with the exception of intro) this is to serve the purpose.
They want the audience to realise that the bond they have is real therefor
no fancy titles/facts to make the audience go in circles.
- Actual footage of K.Richardson playing the lions is the trademark of the
programme as it’s how it promotes the actual message. As the lions are
seen accepting Kevin without any signs of being drugged/trained.
