narrative is provided as a synchronous voiceover
to the scenes occurring on screen.
4. Interviews
Interviews are an effective insight into the
thoughts and experiences of both patients and
the emergency teams and carers. The interviews
are effective in a observational documentary
because with no presenting character the
audience begin to understand the people in the
documentary. This is the aim of an observational
documentary type as the idea is to follow the
journey of a subject.
