Analysis - your blogpost and presentation should include an analysis of the documentary. You should consider these questions:
  • What is the topic?
  • What is the central argument being made by the filmmaker?
  • What evidence does the filmmaker offer in support of the argument?
  • What types of shots are used? 
  • Are the images contemporaneous (from the actual events)? A re-enactment? Representational? Something else? 
  • What is the purpose of the documentary? Why did they make the documentary?
