Type of documentary
It is an expository documentary as it uses the 'Voice Of God' and images that match what is being sad. It is also on after the watershed.
Narrative Structure
The documentary begins with Marilyn Manson and informing the audience of the nun being killed. A quarter of the way into the documentary, the enigma code is answered, and there is also a wide range of interviews. The documentary ends with a closed narrative and it leaves the audiences with no questions.
Camera Work
It begins with an establishing shot of a woman in the graveyard which signifies thatthey have started a new scene. The handheld camera work used symbolises realism e.g. coming cut of the court when a decision hasn't been made.
Mise-en-scene
The mise en scene, when serious journalists are being interviewed, is book and a religious poster. The police officer is interviewed in his office showing that he has authority, and to also reinforce how important he is and his job. The street lights are red, which can connote death. The friends of the three girls are interviewed lounging around and smoking, which reinforces that they aren't as important and how informal they are.
Sound Non diagetic music is soft and mellow to make the audience feel sympathy and the non diagetic sound of a heartbeat adds tension. Sound effects are used whilst the girls are confessing of the sounds that would be heard during the commitment of the crime. The voiceover is male and is low tone which reinforces the seriousness of the documentary and shows authority.
