Documentary Analysis
ARCHIVE MATERIAL
Archive Material: The documentary uses some elements of archive material but mostly consists of reinactments of the events with actors to play each role. However, some of the archive material used are images of the actual murderers and murder victims through different stages in their life. The events are also shown through archive videos – recorded when the crimes were in motion.
EDITING
THEMES
The documentary uses a range of slow and fast pace editing techniques which create tension when appropriate. The long shots are mostly used before the murder event is explained to create tension while the fast pace editing comes in later when trying to knock down the killer. A and B roll editing is used which is presented when the narrative voice is talking about somebodies opinion (a psychologist or doctor) then the image on the screen would be a video of the person hard at work etc.
The documentary looks over several different themes such as murder, scientific analysis, psychological elements and serial killers. These themes are presented by the use of Mise-en-Scene which show elements of the brain and how they are different in a psychological serial killer. The documentary also uses rienactments of the murders with the use of actors – when speaking about a murderers childhood a boy would be doing the things that the actual murderer would have been said to do Eg. cutting off dolls heads.
