The genre that was decided for the documentary highlighted a social issue known as child labor.



I did some research watching some documentaries related to similar topics and also read about documentaries and the codes and conventions of this genre.





Codes & Conventions

  • Traditional Music

  • Opening closing sound effects

  • Plain Cuts

  • J/L Cuts

  • Sepia tones

  • Good Depth of Field

  • Subtitles

  • Interviewing people relevant to the topic

  • Voiceovers

  • Subtle Slow camera movement

  • From 5-10 minutes in duration


These were All the things that were consistent in all the documentaries that I used during research.
