Vice Docs

Football's Most Dangerous Rivalry:

This Vice documentary is based on Rangers and Celtic fans and their rivalry's. The presenter is a young man how does not support either side, so can give a non biases opinion on the matter. The presenters level of involvement is quick high. You hear his voice in the background most of the time, such as at, 6:28, we hear the presenters telling us what he is going to do next and where he is going. Also we see him on camera a lot of the times, mostly when he is talking to fans on the street. For example at 6:52 we see the presenter and the man he is talking to both on camera. By showing the presenters a lot on camera will give the impression to the viewers that he actually cares about the topics and whats to be their, which will then make the viewers want to watch the documentary. The presenters mode of address is very professional but fits in the a football fan. We see the presenter acting sensibility at 9:08 when two Celtic fans, came to the presenter and the guest and start chanting football songs, and then start to jump up and down. The presenter could have joined in but did not and stayed objective. In this documentary the camera and editing techniques are very basic and simple. We just see normal cuts though out the whole documentary and their is very little editing involved. By having this it sorts of makes the documentary a little but more real to the audience and less scripted, allowing the audience to   carry on watching the documentary. In the documentary we don't hear any backing music played, but we do hear a lot of voice overs. For example at 12:29 we see a voice over by the presenter. This is done to give us more information, so that we understand what is going on even better. In this documentary we do see a intro and outro. The intro is done to tell us what we are going to see in the documentary and to give us basic knowledge of the situation. For example at 1:40 we see both sets of fans talk about how they feel about the opposing team. This is done to give the viewers a first hand insight into what the fans think about the matter. Allowing the viewers to understand the documentary even more. The outro is done to conclude the whole documentary. In this documentary we do not see any archive footage, all we see is original footage. I feel as if this is done to make the documentary look as if the recording team have spent a lot of time making it, to show that they are interested in the topic. But yet again i feel as if it would of been nice to see some achieve footage, off actual fights and fans misbehaving, so that the viewers can actually see what is happening in this football community and not just hear it from people. There are many people that get interviewed in this documentary, this is so that the viewers can hear what is actually going on between the two team, from real people that are part of the rivalry. One interview the presenter does is at 6:52 with a Celtic fan. He has interviewed him on the street before a football game, so that it look real and makes the viewers understand that he is an actual football fan, and not just an actor. In this documentary there is a lot of subjectivity. This is because the presenter will interview people either supporting Celtic or Rangers. So whatever team you support you will be bias towards them, so that your teams looks better to the viewers and the other team does not. This is shown at 4:37 we see a Ranger fan give his opinion on Celtic fan. He calls them "fenian bastards" This is a very clear subjective judgment on Celtic fans. Throughout the documentary we are given mist of our information through interviews with actual fans of the teams. The presenter will interview the fans and people involved in the rivalry, who then speak will be informing the presenter on past events and experience, as well as us, the viewers. It assumes me know very little about the rivalry, because at the start it starts of with a voice over, explaining what the two teams stand for and what they believe, and also where on the map they both are. Overall this documentary is aimed toward football fans, and so it keeps football fans watching due to it being all based around football supporters and how much they each other.


 The real planet of the apes

In this documentary the presenter is very much involved, though out it all. We see him talk to local villagers, to get information about monkey island, which in return informs the viewers. Also we see him interview people that use to look after theses apes before they were put on the island. Though out the documentary the presenter come across as a normal guy wanting to find out about monkey island. He does look and talk directly to the camera, by doing this is involves the viewers just that little bit more and make them feel part of the documentary, which will make them stay watching. Also this is how we find out a lot of information about the place. For example at 2:04 we find out that when visiting the monkeys, you have to bring food or they will get very angry. In this documentary the viewers just see normal cuts though out the whole documentary and their is very little editing involved. By having this it sorts of makes the documentary a little but more real to the audience and less scripted, allowing the audience to carry on watching the documentary. Through out the documentary there is a voice over done by the presenter himself, the voice over is put in to give extra information about what is about to happen. So for example at one bit we hear the voice over say, we are now heading to monkey island, this is done while there are shots of the island being shown, so that the viewers can get a feel of what it all looks like. In this documentary we do have a intro and outro. The intro is put in to inform the viewers to what is going to happen in the show, so that it build
