Dispatches: Britain's Witch Children:


I didn't watch the whole documentary however, this is an influential documentary, especially when looking at the styles of expository documentaries as it incorporates the use of hidden cameras and uses techniques such as anonymous interviews and voice-overs.
I would love to use such techniques in our documentary if necessary as they are effective when uncovering any controversial issues for the viewer.
A good shot which was used in this documentary was a long-shot of an estate in London. In the very foreground just in front of the camera was a metal fence, yet the shot firstly focused on the building and then the focus changed to be focusing on the fencing. This shot was effective as a symbol for the imprisonment of these people who are trapped by their religion/beliefs.
