The documentary The Undateables uses a mix of narration, observation, and interviews to tell the stories of people who have disabilities and find it difficult to date. It follows a linear, chronological structure so viewers can easily understand what is happening. Close-ups are used to show subjects' emotions, like loneliness and happiness, and make the audience feel empathy. The setting changes from homes to dates as people's situations improve. Costumes are casual but people dress up for dates to make an effort. Music and voiceovers reinforce the message and elicit sympathy from viewers.
