LOOSE CHANGE
Type of documentary
Themes
Factual information regarding the events of 9/11. It’s purpose is
to ‘expose’ government cover-ups, or at least cause people to question the
official story.
Structure/narrative
The narrative in the documentary is the ‘voice of god’ in other
words. It’s very affirmative and has a point to make. It talks to the viewer
directly e.g ‘Are you convinced yet?’
Mise-en-scene
Of the few original interviews in the documentary one worth noting
is the plane instructor. It looks as though they did not consider the
mise-en-scene at all for this interview, he is simply placed in front of a busy
office with nothing of relevance in the background.
Editing
The documentary is fast paced and uses quick editing. During
interviews the interviewee is positioned to follow the rule of thirds, it also
uses jump shots for the interview.
Sound
The documentary uses a lot of different sound beds, they’re mainly
simple electronic beats and play both during archive footage material or when
the narrator is talking, however they do not play during interviews.
Archive material
Most of the documentary is built up from Archive footage; there is
very little original content. The archive footage used is either that of home
recordings of the world trade centres after being struck, or news reports
showing the pentagon, flight 93 and the world trade centres.
Graphics
During the first interview with the pilot instructor no graphics
are used to show his name or his job, instead he is introduced by the narrator.
