2. Notes
• Mixed documentary with interviews, archive footage, observations
• Archive footage of news stories talking about global warming as being a myth
• Building up non-diegetic music builds an atmosphere
• Cutaway shots, handheld cameras (more raw and believable)
• Non-diegetic sound of camera shutter along with images taken with the camera on screen
• Voiceover of a soft speaking man
• Zooming outwards revealing the ice on a shoreline
• Graphics are bold and blocky, white which signifies the ice
• Interviews in front of a black background with ice caps in background
• Images throughout the years in the different months as a montage which shows the melting
of the ice
3. Camera Angles
• Panning
• High angles overlooking the glaciers
Computer Generated reconstructions and diagrams
• Experts being interviewed (Glaciologists)
• Non diegetic piano in background, doesn’t distract from what is being said
• Beginning, lots of imagery of glaciers, about the change in scenery, about glaciers and ice
caps particulaly
• Middle, more about global warming and other freak weather
• Long takes, extreme long shots , pov shots on a go pro attached to helmet as James Balog
climbs down glacier. Engages the audience, increases realism.
• Timelapse footage (Aurora borielis)
