5 Documentaries

5 different youtube based documentries:
Gasland:
Is a dramatised documentary to impact the US viewers in that their goverment is highly corrupt and in crisis. This documantry targets gullible viewers to believe that what they show in 'gasland' true, and not as streched as reality shows.
staged target audience- young adults and above informative educational although slightly bias Restrepo: a true story again slighlty bias, to give a real life perspective to what afganistan's most deadly location holds. this documentry is very dramatised but doesnt come across as unbelievable as the genre is war, and anything is believable in war.

Inside Job
in this film a reporter interrogates bankers  and the government in America in the late-2000s financial crisis. The trailor uses many clips of the interviews, to show the intesity aswell as that they show peoples views on the whole situation, but only views which are agaisnt the Bankers and Goverment. This is a stagged documentry its a one sided story. The documentary is not educational The target auidience is people who are interested in politics,mostly directed towards Americans.

Exit through the gift shop
Exit through the gift shop is tells the story of Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant in Los Angeles, and his fascination with street art. There has been debate over whether the documentary is genuine or a mockumentary.There is a politcal tone underneath this film, directed towards the goverment and police. In this trailor they use music, no narrator is used. ETTGS is neither informative or educational as it doesnt teach the viewers an ything. It is a non fiction documentry as it isnt stagged. This documentry is directed towards people who are interested in street art.

Restrepo 
A documentry directed towards the american goverment, its based on a tpic which many people have a strong opinion on therefore it is more likey to be viewed. Again this documentry is a one sided story, it is agaisnt the goverment. its a powerful story and hits home to alot of  the viewers.
In the trailor they interview soilders who where in the film, also taking clips out of documentry of the action. i believe Restrepo is partly fiction as they lead people to believe life on the front line is always as displayed on the documentry, where as the directors only cut out the non action part of the films.
Restrepo has a wide target auidience as most people these days are affected by the war.

Wasteland
Wasteland is an upbeat documentry about the life of people who life in a garbage dumb. It is based on poverty, on how people live in such bad conditions. The documentry pulls on the viewers heart strings. This documentry is stagged,  the directors created the main situation therefore it is fictional.s wasteland is a feel-good documentry and isnt based on such a popular topic it can be targeted towards anyone.
