Documentary analysis


Title; Fearne and Perez Hilton
Channel; ITV 2
Type of documentary; Interactive, they acknowledge that the camera crew are there and Fearne is the narrator.
Narrative Structure; Starts with what Perez does, then goes onto his life. Then it asks the question Mario (real life) vs Perez (celebrity) who is he really? It comes to the conclusion that whenever a camera is around he is Perez as this acts as his guard and when he is at home is is Mario.
Camerawork; steady camera work throughout to show the smoothness of the surface of a celebrities life.
Mise en scene; This is the background and since there are no talking heads the background is the bedroom, the car and the awards to show the laid back situation.
Sound; Fearne's voice over to show and to evaluate the goings on in the last sequence. Fearne's voice is used as it is her series and also it makes the audience feel a bit sorry for the celebrities so we can see the real side to them. The upbeat music gives a happy feel to the documentary.
Editing; Cutaways to footage that they are talking about. E.g. news scandals, awards evening.
Archive Material; News reports about Perez "should he go to jail"
Graphics; opening title sequence has picture of Fearne and Perez at different sides of the screen to show it's about them and they are going to have a conversation. The lettering is rough and splattered to show that the true person will be shown.
