Camera shots and angles
Lots of over the shoulder shots
Long shots
Point of view shots Makes the piece more life like and naturalistic. Nothing
Handheld shot too fancy.
Low/high angle
Editing
Cuts from scene to scene, juxtaposition when John talks about his bad time with relationships but we see Chopper and his girlfriend, keep the documentary as realistic as possible.
Voice over
The voice over keeps the documentary flowing and gives us more information on what is happening.
Interviews
Gives the personal opinion of John, Chopper, and Gregg on how they feel on a particular topic.
Location
Shows them doing everyday activities such as drumming, fishing, dog walking etc. This shows that the Tourettes doesn’t affect their daily lives too much and they can just get on with it.

Sound recording (diegetic sounds)
No sound editing is used so all natural sounds are used to make the documentary more naturalistic and because the piece is about their daily lives its as realistic as possible.
Non-diegetic music
Non-diegetic music is used to create the atmosphere with what is being shown on the programme.
Structure (what comes where in the documentary and why)
Starts with a overview of the condition, goes onto the lives and how they are affected, how the condition personally affects them (relationships), meet up with other people with the condition, how the condition did affect them when they were younger.
Archive footage (footage taken in the past).
In the voice over and during interviews there is archive footage of the people during their younger lives and how they were accepted or not into the society.
