In this episode of Panorama, it covers a school; Baverstock Academy. Not just any ordinary school but one for kids that misbehave and act disobedient. The school gives those students a programme that is called "Leap". What this program does is allows the students that are misbehaving to learn in a seperate environment to the students that are being obedient and not misbehaving. There's many reasons why the these students that are in leap whether it be because they have something bothering them/a bad past or whether it be just because they dislike school and can't be bothered with it.
In this particular episode, we analysed it and picked out certain things like voice overs, different camera shots, interviews etc and stated on paper what the shorter version of the subject was (e.g. Interviews - Students saying why they were there and teachers saying what they needed to do in order to get these students five GCSE's).
The points below are the things that I picked out from the video of the documentary:
-Observation shots: Seeing teachers and students in action, for example teachers and students arguing and students not listening to the teacher and talking when the teacher is conducting a lesson.
-Voice Over: Female voice explaining where the school is and what the program "Leap" is for. The reason there is a Female voice is because kids are often related to children and will therefor get across that its a caring and subject that shouldn't be dismissed. If it was a Male voice over then it would feel different and wouldn't have the same effect.
-Different Camera Shots: The shots in this documentary were used for effect and to show the surroundings and the people in it. The camera shots consist of many birds eye views, close ups, mid shots, long ranged shots, and over the shoulder shots.
-Genre Of Programme: The genre of a programme is important because of your target audience and what type of people you're aiming the programme at. In this case, it would be a documentary because it is following the students, teachers and school in how they are taught and treated within the school.
-Statistics: 1000 kids in Britain in 20013 were off stated Ofsted. This is useful in the documentary because it tells the viewer how many kids were off before the program; not getting a chance at school and just being dismayed.
-Facts and figures: Facts about the school such as where the school is based. Figures are used by using the Ofsted.
-Drones: Where they get the over head view shots by putting a camera on a toy aeroplane and driving around using a remote control.
