What can we use from this clip for our Documentary project?
- The use of Close Ups and Medium shots
- ‘Eerie’ and dramatic Score used within Thin Blue Line by Philip Glass
- Multiple Interviewees
- Old Footage
- American film and documentary director
- Best known for his 1988 documentary The Thin Blue Line
- Used reenactments of the policeman's murder.
- The film is about a man convicted and sentenced to death for a murder he did not commit.
- The Score adds a dramatic tension = useful to keep the documentary flowing and interesting
- Multiple interviewees = different stories and insights to the police force, bigger selection of information;
- Morris uses the interviewees as a non-diegetic sound then they come into frame - looks and sounds more professional.
- How its edited with the close ups and old footage etc flows well and works nicely; hoping to achieve this with our work
