Kelly Chalk's documentary about a school's participation in a dance competition challenges conventions in several ways. It uses titles to introduce characters and facts, interviews conducted in indirect address to seem professional, and a mix of stock and original footage to show different perspectives. A voiceover at the beginning establishes a "voice of God" perspective. Interviews and shots of dancers in competition gear promote the competition subtly. The lack of formal setups makes the documentary seem more realistic.

2. IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA
PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE
FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL
MEDIA PRODUCTS?

3. USE OF TEXT/TITLES
 I use this to show who my characters are. I also use
it to shows facts about rock challenge and the be
your best foundation. Also Oak Academy’s journey
through rock challenge. This is too make it more
personal.

4. INTERVIEWS
 I used indirect mode of address, I did this to create
a more professional feel to the documentary.
 I used experts on the subject to make it more
believable.
 I used this a narrative device to more the story
along. This is a common convention of a
documentary.

5. FOOTAGE: STOCK
 I used a mix between my own, and stock footage.
This is to show different views and past events that
the audience might be familiar with. This has come
to be expected by audiences as it is a very common
practice in making a documentary.

6. VOICEOVER
 By use a voice over at the beginning of my
documentary I have created a voice of god. This
helps the audience to follow along with the story
and it helps them believe it better also.

7. MISE-EN-SCENE
 During my interview with Geoff, I placed a rock
challenge poster in the background. This is to
promote the competition, but in a sly way.
 I also got a lot of footage of the dancers in their
rock challenge training gear. This has the be your
best foundation logo on it. This use of iconography
lets the audience link the dancers and the
competition together.

8. RECEPTIVE THEORY
 The audience draw on past experiences from
seeing things within my documentary, such as
school, or the dance, and will feel more connected
to the piece.

9. SET UPS
 A way that I challenged conventions was that my
documentary had no set ups. I just when around
picking up footage were I could, getting them to be
as natural as possible. The reason i did this is
because I wanted the documentary to be real.
