BBC Documentary - Joe Swash “I believe in Ghosts”


- Lowbrow documentary.

- Shown on TV at 9pm; after the watershed.

- Voiceover has been used.

- The use of interview to gain information to support his argument.

- Night vision was used to create atmosphere.

- The use of subtitles to introduce someone, or when whispering is used.

-The Mise-on-scene of the first shot is Joe Swash introducing his documentary, with Scooby-doo toys and a ‘Scream’ mask in the background. This use of symbolism reflects what the documentary will be about and that it will include a scare factor.

- Symbolism is also used throughout the documentary to scare the audience and persuade them to “believe in ghosts”.

- The sound track that is played in the background is chosen to fit with the dialogue.

- Use of reconstruction used in black and white.
