Michael Moore is an academy award winning American filmmaker, author and liberal political commentator. His most popular documentaries are Sicko, Fahrenheit 9/11 and bowling for Columbine.
Fahrenheit 9/11
- slow music to build up to the speeches to build tension
- extreme close up on eyes to show them jolting, which is normally related to someone lying
- uses a lot or irony, ends on Bush talking about a serious matter 'I call upon all nations to stop these terrorist killers...Thank You.. now watch this drive(golf)
Louis Theroux
Louis Theroux is an American broadcaster who is best known for Louis Theroux Wierd Weekends and When Louis met...
Africa(Racism)
- 'exposing'
- follows one person around
- lots of location shots
- interviewees take up 1/3 of shot
- as its a documentary, the public can be unpredictable and in this documentary they are filming an interview when a man walks in front of the camera then ducks.
From studying these two documentary styles i have been able to see that each documentary takes its own style in shooting and editing. I have also realised we must be prepared for the unpredictable public whilst filming. When relating these to the paparazzi documentary we are planning i think neither of the documentaries would be right for paparazzi.
