Visuals- Television is a visual medium, programme needs to be visually stimulating and maintain audience interest
Archive material- Stock footage, Eg- street scenes, open countryside, motorways, city scapes
Historical footage- Extracts from other tv, film, and radio, newspaper front pages
Interviews- Most important part of a documentary, can be held anywhere but mise-en-scene is important in relating the interview to the topic/issue
VOX POPS- (Vox populis) voice of the people, ask one question to lots of people then choose the most interesting or entertaining to use in a programme, it can get a good cross section of the audience
Voice over- Can affect or alter meaning. It anchors the meaning of the visuals, a voiceover acts as glue, holding the narrative together
Gate keeping- Selection and rejection of information. For inclusion in the text
Construction of reality- By editing and gatekeeping media producers construct an artificial picture of reality
