Documentary: One Born Every minute

One born every minute 

• This programme is a documentary TV series
• Actuality based, fly on the wall style. The camera sits there and waits for something to happen instead of following and prompting.
• Follows characters through their pregnancies and shows the trials of tribulations of their lives.
• Clean cut in its approach, doesn't use any fancy montages to enhance someones life like in bowling for columbine. 
• They use the nurse as a narrator, using what was said in the interview. 

Watching a few of these series makes me think about how you can show someones lives. Taking the fly on the wall approach can be good but then you'd have so much footage to sift through if you sit and wait for something to happen. 

The editing style is clean cut and and not dramatic, you don't have a presenter walking around and interviewing people or being investigatory. It allows people to sit and watch and soak up the facts in their own way instead of forcing it upon them. This is also a good thing because subtlety can be better. This is something I will take into consideration for my project.
