1) The documentary follows a single narrative structure about the popularity and success of the Tomb Raider video game franchise and Lara Croft character across games, films, and themes. 2) Unusual camera angles like over the shoulder shots, extreme closeups, and tilted shots are used to make the documentary seem more like a video game through atypical cinematography. 3) The mise-en-scene is designed to match the technical themes of the documentary, with interviews filmed on computers or against chromakey backdrops of computers to emphasize the subject matter. Game clips and music from the games are also incorporated into the documentary.

5. Mise-en-sceneThe mise-en-scene of this documentary is very specific as very little 'real' background is shown. Chromokey is used during the interviews therefore the backdrop is very specific and the only other shots used are in a place where there are a lot of computers which fits in well with the themes of the documentary. Some interviews are filmed on a computer which gives the documentary a very technical feel. Clips of the game are unchangable so the mise-en-scene is not decided in these shots.

6. SoundIncidental music represents the game- it sounds very much like it could be on the game or is taken from the game.

7. There is voice of god narration which makes sense of the images on screen. The man sounds like a middle aged male, with a well spoken english accent.

8. Voicovers of the interview are used during cutaways to things like the game, and at times, the film.

9. There are many different accents from the interviewees; some american and some english, both male and female with different diologue.
