Bungie Documentary - Analysis
This documentary is about the game developer, Bungie, and how they have evolved over the years and came to be the multimillion pound company they are today. It features many interveiws with the team members and video clips of them at work. Interestingly, the documentary dosen't have a narrator and instead is narrated by the team members talking to the camera and over the video clips.
*Camera
The camera work varies alot because there is amature footage taken with cheap video cameras mixed in with the A roll footage. There arn't many purposeful camera techniques used because the A roll clips just follow people around, and the B roll is footage from video games or amature video capturing.
*Sound
The sound is a major part of the documentary because the storyof Bungie is told by the people involved with it, and without their input the programme wouldn't be very informative. The documentary opens with the theme music of Halo: Combat Evolved playing in the background, a tune that all Bungie fans will instantly recognise. As with many documentaries, the first few minutes are a montage which give some interesting details about the subject matter and draw the audience in. Background music plays almost constantly through the programme E.G. when the team are talking about the Halo games, music that was composed for those games plays in the background, which keeps it relevant.
*Editing
There isn't heavy editing in this documntary because of the abundence of A roll footage, but there's plenty of cutaways because the programme jumps between difeerent video clips regularly
