Type of documentary 
Lifers is an example of a mixed documentary. 
Themes 
There are many themes shown throughout the 
documentary; murder, crime, prison, regret and 
paying the price.
Narrative Structure 
• This documentary is a linear film which flows 
through from beginning to end, with out any 
jumps into the past. 
• This is a multi-strand documentary as it 
showcases many different prisoners and looks 
specifically at different the different sentences. 
• This is a open ended documentary as we do not 
find out in the film what happens to all of the 
prisoners that are interviwed.
Camerawork 
• Fly on the wall- used to capture 
everything in room, this could be to 
show how enclosed everything is in 
that room and to emphasise how 
horrible it is. 
• Handheld camera- they use a hand 
held camera to follow the prisoners 
around making sure they capture 
their every moves.
• Wide shot- this allows 
the viewer to see the full 
picture and realise the 
intensity of the prison. 
• Close up- to focus in on a 
certain detail that 
contributes to the 
documentary.
Mise-en-scene 
• The main place of filming is inside the prison, 
showcasing different rooms; the prisoners 
cells, the shared rooms (such as eating area) 
and different offices where interviews are 
taken place.
Sound 
• They used a formal male narrator, with an 
informative tone to narrate the 
documentary from the beginning to 
introduce the programme and tell the 
audience what its about as there is no 
presenter. 
• Also, to interest the viewers they used 
actual news clips to make it more realistic 
and dangerous, making the documentary 
more exciting and interesting.
Archive material 
• A photo of one the murderers as a child, 
although they have committed an 
unforgiveable crime, this possibly makes the 
viewer feel bad for the prisoner and it reminds 
them that they weren’t always bad.
Graphics 
• There are titles of people when they are being 
interviewed. Also, when we are introduced to 
a new prisoner it tells us there name, crime 
and when they are expected to be released.
