3. Narrative
In the beginning of the documentary there was Marilyn Mansons
fans/followers which sets the story of how it is related. Also the many
peaceful establishing shots of the town show the difference between the
Marilyn Manson concert and the quiet town.
In the middle it shows the murder that had taken place and shown what
happened to the town and he people it involved. This is where the argument takes
place and Marilyn Manson is shown negatively and according to the town he is the
reason the murder happened.
In the end it concludes and shows the own normal and what happened to the girls
who commited the crime. It also shows teenagers and Marilyn Manson in a
negative light and includes a montage of teenagers smoking, drinking and kissing.

• Mid shot of a phone box when the girl is speaking to the police
• High angles of the city when the confession is taking place which makes It
look eerie.
• Zoom in of some inverted crosses graffited on the wall.
• Archive footage is wobbly which makes the audience feel like they are
there
• Close up’s of religious statues
• Low angle shots looking up to Manson which makes him look powerful
• High angle shots of the audience from Mansons point of view which
makes him look like he is controlling his fans.
• When interviewing Manson the light falls on one half of his face, leaving
the other half dark which makes It seem like he has a split personality.

5. Mise en scene
• The lawyer on the train is dressed in red and
stands out by showing she is power dressed
and looks very powerful.
• Montage of teenagers drinking, smoking and
kissing reinforces the message that Marilyn
Manson is a bad influence as the footage is
filmed at his concert.

murder.
• Non – diagetic sound such as heartbeat used
to create meaning as the girl is getting more
nervous as the time goes by whilst she is
confessing hense why the heartbeat sound is
getting faster and faster.
