These first scenes in
the documentary is
part of the
introduction. The music
is quite serious as the
topic of the
documentary is
sensitive, yet very dark.
5. The close up of the woman's face
with tears in her eyes is to enhance
sympathy from the audience.
Before this shot was a pan of the
room she was in. It was to show her
situation and how she struggled with
her weight and the death of her
nephew.
In this shot and pan, there is
incidental music. This is to make the
audience empathetic towards her.
6. • There is a zoom on the boy who died.
The picture is put in black and white
to represent the boy as a ‘memory’ to
his Aunty.
• It emphasises that he is dead, and no
longer here. Whilst the photo is being
shown, there is sad non-diegetic
music being played.

7. The wide shot of the man cutting
through the wall is highlighted below
by a close up shot.
Natural lighting is challenging the
conventions the story as the woman is
confined to her bedroom, so this is the
first time the audience is seeing natural
lighting in the programme.
