Supersize Me

List the different styles of filmaking (this will include live action and animation etc). How are these styles used to present information?
a) Interviews with nutritiousness', doctor and all sorts of experts to do with the food industry, it is used to shock people because when he goes in the doctors being told not to do it any more, clip of him being sick. This adds shock and persuades you to stop with this type of diet
   
List the interviewees in the extract. Describe the mise en scence of each interview. What connotations does this create for the audience?
b) Kelly Brownell PhD (professor for eating and weight loss disorders) mise en scence - he is surronded by books which makes him look intellegient which persuades you into believing what he says more.   
Jacob Sullum (Links eating with smoking)
John F. Banzhaf (Expert in children's health and diet) III he talks about the children which  visit
MacDonalds, in the background you can hear children quite clearly. this emphasis' his point.


What relationship is there between the voice over and the images? How does this effect the way that the audience interprets what Spurlock is saying?
c) What the voice over is saying relates to the images and videos well because it directly shows what he is saying like when he talked about overweight people not being able to walk and then it shows an overweight person using a motorized wheelchair around the school. another part is when


What music features on the soundtrack? which group of people is most likely to enjoy this type of music?
d) The music which plays, is very appealing to children and fun but sarcastic at the same time, the underlying meaning of it though is talking about how unhealthy MacDonalds, which children wouldn't pay attention to which shows that kids are gonna eat it because they clearly don't understand what it can do and lead to.
   
What mode of documentary is Super Size Me? Are there elements of more than one mode? provide evidence for your answer.
e) This documentary is a participatory mode (performative), it is because the person making the film is the subject of the film and gets involved with the people in the documentary.
