Super Size Me

The different types of film making that they use are:

• Interviews- helps us see things from different angles and understand peoples point of view.
• Opinions- Why that think things like obeisity happen.
• Scientist interviews- why things like obesity happen.
• Animational clips- ronald mcdonald advertisment clip.

The Interviewees in the extract 'the toxic enviroment' are:

• Jacob Sullum- reason magazine.
• John robbins- journalist and writer
• William J Klish- Medicine doctor

During the interviews the director hasd placed the interviewees very precisely, during the interview with one of the journalists they added a certificate into the background so that the audience is aware that interviewee is highley qualified, and during the interview that stated mcdonalds makes kids happier they conducted the interview in a place that children were going to be and were going to be happy.
The relationship between the voice over and images are:

• The voiceover talks about the issues and concerns in america, while the picture shows the issues and concerns that are being brought up in the voiceover.
• There are alot of images of McDonalds and voiceovers that discribe the truth behind McDonalds.
• The voiceover compared the fast food addiction to the addiction of smoking, the images show that this information in most cases are true.

The music that appears on the soundtrack is very happy and quirky and may appeal mainly to teenagers and young adults, this is because the producers are drawing these people to the attention of obesity and trying to get the point acroos so that they are aware of the issues that may occur, by adding music like this they will drawn towards it and will realise the dangers of eating junk food.

 Super size me has two modes:

1. The participatory mode- this is because the director participates in the film.
2. The performative mode- the film maker is emotionally attached to the happenings in the film.

Activity 1

I think that the documentry is aimed at all people but i think the film maker is trying to get the point across mainly to young adults and children so that they are aware of the possible effects and can prevent the worst from happening. I think it is however aimed at ages 10-20 and mainly male but females too. Most documentrys can be suited to all genders and ages however in some cases it maay be directed at a certain genre or age, for example sport may be directed manily at males and fashion at females.
