Supersonic – Documentary analysis
By Megan Burley
Summary of documentary
• The film details the history of the Britpop band Oasis during
their formative years and the height of their success in the
1990s, featuring off-screen interviews with members of the
band and people associated with them, set to archive video of
concerts, contemporaneous interviews and backstage footage.
Type of documentary
• Fully narrated – the documentary included
voice over to convey the exposition. The
voiceovers included members of the band,
family and friends, managers and producers.
• The documentary also included a series of
visuals that the narrator seems quiet
authoritative about the topic allowing them to
make sense of the visuals and allowing them
to be apart of the documentary.
Themes in the documentary
• Supersonic included may themes within the
documentary:
• Music
• Family
• Concerts
• Money
• Fame
• Drug abuse
• Emotions and feelings
• Friends
Narrative structure
• Open narrative – the documentary is open narrative as the
full story of Oasis and the untold reasons behind them
breaking up are yet to be told.
• Closed narrative – the documentary is a closed narrative
due to that the time period they focused on was mainly
over the time they played Knebwoth, which is also heavily
featured at the end/closing sequence of the documentary.
• Linear – the documentary is also linear as it flows in time
order and the documentary showed how the upcoming
band became so famous.
• Supersonic is a multi-stranded documentary which includes
a lot of personal topics to the members themselves which
include family life, drug abuse and their music .
