Documentary Debrief

I really liked watching all the presentations because they all used different elements that made them both engaging and informational. I think that the music really helped to set the mood in all the documentaries. For example in Allie’s groups documentary they had sad music playing as students talked about how they were unfairly marked as tardy, the music really helped to convey their message. Also some of the editing techniques helped to further prove a groups point, such as in some documentaries the group would cut an interview short or do a voice over to refute the interviewee’s opinion. This technique was used in Michael Moore’s documentaries, because he often cut off the people that he was interviewing. Also many of the professional documentaries that we watched involved a lot of music and visuals such as pictures or charts, which many groups included in their presentations.
