Documentary - Dreams of a Life

Purpose of factual programmes:

  • Revelation - revealing to us something new
  • Entertainment - Whether they make us laugh, cry or shout, still need to entertain us
  • Storytelling - portrayal of "real" life as accurately as possible
  • Style and Content - varied styles used, but style should never be relied on over content

Narrative Structure:
  • Interview testimony
  • Timeline structure 
  • gives sense of investigation style from film maker- post it notes, forensic boi-suit actors in flat
  • Dramatised tastefully, especially death at end

Challenges:
  • Has to investigate into it
  • Permission from family etc
  • Sub Judice - public domain
  • Access
