Michael Moore Documentary's



Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)
- Interesting use of interviews.

- Archive footage opening.

- Michael Moore’s voice over narration

- Moore uses a black screen during his documentary with just sound effects of screaming victims of 9/11. This builds tension and emotionally effects the audience.

- Use of archive footage of George Bush to influence the audience to address his point of view.

Sicko (2007)
- Michael Moor’s voice over narration.

- Juxtaposition of conflicting narrative view points.

- Use of archive footage.

- CCTV footage used for proof and evidence.

- The use of mobile phones and showing victims voices helps make the audience sympathise with the citizens of America who cannot afford health treatment.

- Michael Moore expresses his personal beliefs, which makes his documentary’s different from any others.

- Here is an example of an interesting interview showing Michaels supprised reaction to healthcare in the UK. It works well because Moore shows genuine emotion within the interview. It is also interesting because it cuts between the interview and clips of the doctors home and lifesyle.
