Documentary Comparison

This video is about the making of the promo for the third series of skins.



The video opens with edgy music, which grabs your attention straight away. There are lots of quick cuts and jumps straight into the action, with Cook lighting a flare and some of the cast members talking about a fight scene. All the interviews are filmed during breaks on the shoot, which adds to the interest. There is always something going on in the background. This video was designed for teenagers to get an insight as to how the promo video was made, and to also anyone who would have a possible interest in working in television production. It gets the point across very well.

Their video is along the same lines as our documentary. What they are trying to get across in their documentary is how the promo was being made. This is partly the same with our documentary, as there is footage of the making of the fiver, but we also explore how the Junction has worked with Long Road on our projects. We have relatively quick cuts mixed in with frequent interviews.
