Type of Documentary
- Educational (learning zone)
- Expository
Themes
- Music is a key theme.
- Marketing is also a main theme because the whole documentary is how they have tried to market meatloaf.
Narrative structure
- 'Voice of God'- talks about the music industry (the Brit's, Grammys) then goes onto Meatloaf to talk about his career and how he got back on top, it then ended with Meatloaf's success.
Camerawork
- Hand-held camera work at the grammy's and the Brit's making the audience fell like they are there, the Point of view shot makes you feel like your there so the audience is the reporter going into the reporters room, trying to involve the audience from the beginning.
Mise-en-scene
- Meatloaf merchandise behind interviewee's ( Meatloaf Cd in the background have achieved this by using a green/blue screen).
Sound
- 'Voice of God' is male, this makes it seem serious and authoritative maybe aiming towards a more Male target audience. the voice-over is very formal and has opinions.
- Non diegetic snippets of song to build up the excitement for the chorus (I'd do anything for love)
Editing
- Fade in and out of two people, sitting on the opposite side to the interviewer but on different sides to one another.
- Short interviews.
- Fast cuts of making the video, Crossfades to illustrate what it is about.
Archive material
- Footage from the grammy's (Meatloaf's performance).
- Clip from one of his music videos.
- More archive footage than captured footage.
- Filming behind the scenes on the music video set.
Graphics
- Opening credits is a magazine front cover with tiny sound bytes from the people who may be in the programme.
- There is always a logo at the side of any of the captions (The music biz logo).
- Quotes move across the bottom of the page at one point and they are faded.
