Nick broomfield-Biggie and Tupac


  • Voice of god used throughout
  • Participatory- Broomfield has an influence on the story as he goes round asking questions.
  • Both use background music to convey the mood
  • Broomfield is a 'run and gun' style director, goes and meets with people he wants to talk to rather than calling them in.
  • Stock footage such as news clips are used.
  • still images 


Amy- Kapadia

  • Performative documentary. 
  • The director has no influence on the film
  • People are called in for interviews. Taken place in a professional studio most of the time. 
  • Stock footage from other T.V shows featuring other celebreties
  • Much more editing used to cut scenes and also hide bits which the director doesn't want to show. Whereas Broomfield tends to leave shots running for much longer

Cinematic influences

Cinematic influences I also had multiple cinematic influences which inspired me to use certain visual techniques to help me to create deeper meaning within my film. The Gunfighter The cinematographer uses a shallow depth of field to highlight the isolation of the character and to show how he is alone/ unwelcome in the environment. I would like to implement this technique into my own short film to highlight similar meaning. As the main character does not know where he is, using a shallow depth of field would highlight the isolation. A shallow depth of field makes the subject stand out against the background, which can be used to highlight the importance of a character or an object. The cinematographer uses tracking shots to  follow the main character, he includes foreground interest in his shot to show the busyness of the scene and to highlight what kind of environment he is in. This would be perfect to implement into my own work to show how the environment

Shoot 3 shots and editing drone shot This drone shot was extremely hard to perform as i had to fly it backwards under a fallen tree which although wasn't very high, the shape of it as well as the hanging branches made it difficult to fly through and get the shot.  Colour grading- i had to colour grade this shot slightly different compared to the other shots, because the drone isn't as good in low light compared to a camera. I had to de-noise the image using the median tool, and i had to increase the shadows much more than i usually would. Shot of keys + meaning explained The meaning of the keys and why they are shown so obviously is because the object acts as a Macguffin, the character always checks to have the keys, and if he doesn't then he knows something is wrong. I added a humming sound effect when he picks up the keys to highlight the importance of the object, picking up the keys in turn broke the paradox, which is why he sees himself get in the tent

Do geese see god- film synopsis Taylor is an ordinary adult on the way home from work. Upon reaching his house to park his car, he notices a tent obstructing his path. Filled with curiosity he gets in the tent and zips it up so that no one sees him. When he re-opens the tent to get out, a large gust of wind hits his face and he realises he is now in a different location. After getting out of the tent he discovers a note pinned to a tree. The note informs him that the tent is the only way back to where he started. After having multiple experiences of the tent changing location, Taylor finds his own car keys hanging off a branch in some woods. Confused and shocked, as he has never been there before, he walks forward to pick them up but hears footsteps behind him, it turns out the person behind him is actually himself, getting in the tent. Because Taylor has altered with the environment and done things in an irregular way, the paradox has been broken and this is why he sees himself. Tay
