Textual Analysis 2 (3

This document analyzes the use of camera shots, editing, sound, and conventions in a student documentary. It notes that the documentary used a variety of basic camera shots but not much variety. The editing was similar to what the author plans to use. Most of the sound was diegetic, with some narration and music. The documentary effectively used conventions like interviews and voiceovers. The author plans to apply lessons learned about the effective use of music, archive footage, and conventions to their own documentary.
