The Age of Loneliness is a documentary produced by the BBC about dating in the modern era. It follows quite a few different participants throughout it and tells their stories about their dating life and their thoughts throughout. As I will be exploring similar themes within my documentary, I have gained an insight in how to present this theme. I have taken the following from the documentary and I aim to use these techniques myself:
-
Cut away shots during interviews to other relevant shots.
-
Shallow focus/close ups during interviews.
-
Establishing shots in new locations
-
Introduction about new documentary participants.
-
Lots of emotional scenes due to subject matter
-
Ends on an ending thought to leave a memory with the viewer.
-
Filler music used often
