2. Self – Reflexive
is when the subject achnologes the camera,
and they usually become about the person in
front of the camera rather than the actual
issue/subject. Critics say that self-reflective
documentaries fall into empty narcissism.
They speak directly to the film maker.
4. Closed Narrative – it is a closed narrative as the
documentary is more focused on his story and
experiences. He explains how it was for him and what
he seen and has been through.
Non linear – I see this documentary as being non
linear as throughout he tells the audience multiple
stories about his experience in Afghanistan.
Single stranded – I see this documentary as single
stranded, even though he mentions multiple stories
throughout his time in Afghanistan he is the main
focus throughout.
5. Mid Shot – are used on interviews, this just
establishes to the audience that the person
being interviewed is currently the main focus.
Hand Held Camera – shows they’re showing
you their realistic experience.
External Shots
Longs Shots – usually shown to represent a
large gang of men in a negative way.

8. Non Diegetic – at the beginning of the
documentary we had narration, this
described who the documentary was going to
be focusing on and the topics that were going
to be talked about.This is interesting as it
allows the audience to decide whether or not
they will be interested in watching the rest of
the documentary.
Diegetic – Speaking
Diegetic – Guns firing
9. Cut
Fast Editing – to represent the actions and
skills they had to use were fast and needed to
be thought through quickly.
10. I believe that some footage may have been
taken from the internet, however I am not
100% sure. Some of the footage they have
used is their own, however I’m not positive
about it all.
11. “Where does theTaliban get its arms and funding from?”
“What chance do local militias and police forces have against
theTaliban?”
