Monday 19th October English course oeuvre Ross Kemp in Afghanistan and 9/11 documentaries By Sophia Howkins Introduction- In this es guess I am going to comp be both(prenominal) documentaries about Ross Kemp in Afghanistan and the 911 crash. Both of these documentaries argon related as they both started because of the similar reason. They be based on the real drama on the flame and life in the force. The fight began on October 7, 2001 the aim of invasion was to find Osama Bin Laden. British and the U. S military launched in response to the 11 bombardments in September, The 911 run a risked on Tuesday eleventh September 2001 in the morning in the United States.Genre- The archetypal invariably accusative was made in France 1895, at that place was no sound or colour it was just a moving image there was no editing used just a long take of a film. The word infotainment comes from the word evidence and realistic advent agent long takes jell down life in true form and c onstructive approach means editing montage ( more than aesthetic onlyy pleasing). Documentaries straightaway are more formative approach non a realistic approach because they overhear more equipment to edit the objective. Mock documentaries take away caused scepticism in an audience so when it comes to true documentaries the audience dont deliberate them.But most documentaries are based on true stories e. g. filming wildlife. Documentaries are thought to be educational and boring to neighboring to pot. Ross Kemps accusative in Afghanistan is a typical documentary because of the subject war/political this documentary uses both formative approach and realistic because it has some editing in. And it is a moderated documentary this documentary has informal interviews, the hole of the racking on a held hand cam, synchronous sound recording and voice all oer the filming. context of use-The film called Ross Kemp in Afghanistan is based on the war misfortune today, it is oer the 9/11 attack on the twin towers. It has carried on over all these classs and it started in 2001 and is let off ongoing. The British legionss aim for the attack was to find Laden. The documentary Ross Kemp in an Afghanistan was Directed by John Conroy and Anuar Arroyo (2nd series) Produced by Matt Bennett. The two series involved Kemp and a small embedded film bunch following troops scrap in Helmand Province, documenting their part in the ongoing Herrick.In the first series Kemp and his combination participate in the Vikings initial training in Britain for the deployment. They then trim down the unit during their six month tour, filming both lives at tranquillity and on fighting patrols in Helmand. The series finally covers their return to the UK. In the follow up series Kemp returns to Afghanistan to assess how the conflict has changed since his first holler in 2007. During the filming of the first series, in ane engagement the crew were pinned down by run off from th e Taliban, with Kemp n ahead of time dying with bullets passing at heart inches.In filming the second series, Kemp runs into a possible minefield. The set was p progressd for the closeness and pragmatism of the battle footage, and is believed to be the first documentary of its kind enter in. interview- The audience of this documentary is young lads who are deciding to join the army or who are already in it. The age audience is 16 to late 30s. Audience has changed over the years because documentaries use more popular subjects which are attractions a younger audience. Typical audience over the years are chief(prenominal)ly battalion who en bliss watching documentaries.Documentaries every(prenominal) educate or a hobby. Viewers may control a hobby and same to watch documentaries what interest them or schools use them for educational reasons. Narrative- Ross Kemp in Afghanistan is about Ross Kemp the journalist and narrator doing a documentary on the war in Afghanistan. The do cumentary is about the soldiers lives in the war, how they strike down their families and relay transmitters, the impact on the soldiers families, the soldiers mental/physical wellness and how they work out and train and finally how the Afghanistan civilians feel about breathing in a war zoneThis documentary is trying to lay down us that army life is not that good. When you watch the documentary it shows how prospering we are to gear up up stuff which they dont have or arent very good e. g. a shower and bed. It alike shows that macrocosm in the army is quite scary because you dont cut if youre going to live through the day or if youre not going to see your family again. This documentary is being told by Ross Kemp and his filming crew, the crew films it life and Ross Kemp is the narrator. The British Army and the Taliban are involved in the war.I think this documentary is unique because it is actually educating us and showing us what it is really like in the war and it shou ld teach muckle not to take advantage of what they have got. Representation- There are more unlike groups represent in the text the first being the British Army. The British Army in this documentary are being represented as strong and willing to fight for our country. Its no all fun and happiness. The soldiers are hit ruttishly because of what is happening about them. At the beginning they felt panicky, act childish. By being in the army they change the way they act and think.The soldiers cant wait to put all there training into action in the war zone. In this documentary the army are fighting for their country and the civilians of Afghanistan. When there on patrol they are grown-up and victor nevertheless in the documentary subsequentlywards their time on patrol when Ross Kemp interviewed them they were thinking of leaving the army because now they know it isnt all fun being in the army. Their families have to keep strong for their soldiers. In the documentary there famil ies were described to be nervous and anxious and loyal they dont leave them they fetch by their soldiers.The documentary had a m another(prenominal) interviewed about her 19 year old son who died on patrol she was strong, devastated and distraught entirely she gave Ross Kemp a video of how her son died to go in the documentary. The civilians in Afghanistan were prepared to bring off with the British Army and they never gave to much information because they were scared some think will happen to them. The cautions for the civilians are that they are in a middle of a battle zone. The Talibans were described as very tactical, strong well a d trained. Media Language- television photographic camera vistas/ washying-I am going to talk about a send of camera picnics. Firstly in scissure 1 the section uses both formative approach and realistic approach. It was a birds shopping centre view pellet and it showed that the land was deserted nothing was to be seen. The main focus more or less was central it showed how hefty a machine gun really is. The the right way feeling is emphasised because the branch is closest to the camera. Secondly, shot 3 was a close up of Ross Kemp on the ground lying down. This shot made you feel claustrophobic and it gives you the cerebration of the closeness of the soldiers and how they rely on each other a lot.Unlike shot 1 this shot does not use deep focus as Ross Kemp is to remain the central focus of this camera shot. We are faced with montage of shots of weapons, action shots, training and frontline Shot 4 was a medium long-shot. Ross Kemp and the soldiers was on the helicopter and the door was down the light was shining through and Ross Kemp walked out. The light was bright and it represented heaven or walking through the burrow of death or as some people will say walking into the unknown because they dont know what is going to happen once they step out nerve the helicopter.The connotations are to this shot is that its like death because they use the helicopter to take bodies back to England. In shot 7, it the mis en scene is contradictory uses an extreme close-up of a opusing electrify this could have represented danger/keep-out or it was like representing prison for the Afghanistan civilians or maybe it could be cling toing them from danger. The barbed wire is dark and inexorable that there was a beautiful sunset behind the barbed wire. The lighting uses juxtaposition between the darkness/ danger of barbed wire and natural beauty of the sunlight.Costumes/Props/Sounds The costumes for this documentary where mainly army unvarying which is mainly good because it camou signalizees the soldiers because the colours are beiges and browns and creams because of the desert colours. They will be value by their blood type which is sewed on to there arm of the identical mainly because if they get killed they can be recognised There are lots of weapons in this documentary and whenever theyre in shot the re in centre to bear more powerful the weapons become the uniform.The documentary uses synchronous sound (Recording, happening with action) volume sounds increase to be more powerful and that your there and fear the feelings of the soldiers. The shouting of the soldiers emphasises the chaos. condition- The 9/11 documentary was based on the attack on the twin towers. The 9/11 attack were a series of twin(a) suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001. The locations of the attacks were sassy York city Arlington County, Virginia and near Shanks Ville, Pennsylvania.The types of attack were Aircraft hijacking, Mass put to death and Suicide attack. It killed 2,976 victims and 19 hijackers and injured 6,000. Both buildings collapsed within two hours, destroying near buildings and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D. C. The one-fourth plane crashed into a field near S hanks Ville in rural Pennsylvania, by and by some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D. C.There were no survivors from any of the flights. Audience- The audience for this documentary is a little bit different to the audience from Ross Kemp in Afghanistan, mainly because this documentary is more aimed at firemen or young people wanting to join the services alone the Ross Kemp is for soldiers. Narrative- 9/11 was originally based on a probe fire fighter called Tony. The documentary was meant to be about a boy becoming a man from his job at an early stage into it. The directors for this documentary were two brothers called Jules Naudet and Geodeon Naudet.They didnt mean to record the 9/11 attack. It was an accident. The plane was that low it caught everyones attention, including the two brothers filming. Planes are never seen round the area of the twin towers. This documentary has real liv e footage from the dread(a) terrorist attack. There is emotional footage and interviews with fire fighters who showed their feelings about the attack. A number of them express they would have to learn to love the job again because of what they all had to go through, digging to find either perfectly people or survives.Everybody unconnected someone or someones close to them because of the attack 9/11 tho even though the firemen thoughts were about the safety of their family, they were still determined to save other civilians with the help of the support of the public. Most of the fire fighters had flashbacks of what happened that very day. In the documentary, throughout the attack on the twin towers intelligence agency broadcasts were shown on the news, either from the location or pictures from the viewers. They were edited to fit the documentary to show different sides of the attack.The 9/11 and Ross Kemp in Afghanistan have some similarities. They both used hand held cameras to shoot the action happening around them. In the Ross Kemp documentary they had a helmet camera too. Also they both shoot on the location which the documentaries are about. Both firemen and soldiers epoch being interviewed questioned their jobs subsequently and while the attack were happening. On the other hand both documentaries have some differences, while the firemen and soldiers were being interviewed they both had different approaches. The 9/11 used formal interviews.They interviewed the eye witness after the attack but in Ross Kemps documentary the interviews were informal they recorded on the location while the attack was happening. Both of the documentaries have different cultures for example the two cut narrators expressed their emotions by hugging and kissing each others heads but the American firemen just hugged each other and shacked each others hands. They showed their emotions differently. Representation- There are many different groups represented in the 9/11 docume ntary. The first being New York firemen from ladder 1.At the beginning they were relaxed and railleryd around with Tony teasing him. On the job they was represented as serious, brave and professional firemen, while the attacks were happening they seemed shocked, distraught and selfless fore example one firemen leaned over one of the film-makers to keep him safe and he didnt care about him self. He risked his own life to protect another civilian. All of the firemen were very emotional and had open feelings after the attack. Secondly the civilians who were represented as disbelief and shocked, people idnt have a clue what was going on, Felt confused that they couldnt do nothing, They also felt concern for others around or in the buildings but for them selfs too. Thirdly the film-makers, they shared the same emotions as the civilians such as scared, helpless and they also panicked but they were brave and for the others they put on a straight face. Also they was venerating because the re were two people on fire and they never filmed it but they said to my left there are two people on fire it doesnt feel right to film it.They were professional because they focused on filming and let the film-maker take over. The filming was by two brothers which had different culture to the American. Their emotions are more open than the Americans. They were loyal, loving and caring towards each other. The Ross Kemp in Afghanistan and the 9/11 have a few similarities. They both risked there lifes and are seen as heros or angles but also they joke around but remain professional when it counts. The documentaries were both filmed on the location and they both risked their lives to get real footage of the war and attacks.Also the both documentaries have some differences. The firemen are there to save lifes and put out fires but the soldiers are there to kill there targets and protect the civilians of the country there fighting. The firemen are more emotional than the soldiers because if someone died in the army in the war zone they have to leave the dead soldier and evince on with the job but the firemen will carry them or take them to safety. The 9/11 attack was unexpected but the Ross- Kemp was planned. Media Language- tv camera Shots- television camera shot one is a pan shot of the people in the street around the twin towers. This shot shows how the attack effected everyone even tourists. Also it showed all the different life styles from crease men to mothers. This shot allows the audience to see the twin towers and how it affected everyone there. This camera shot is a worm eye view shot. This shot shows how orotund the twin towers and buildings around are but at this point none of the towers had been touched yet. This shot gives us an impression that the twin towers are powerful and the status is looking up at them.Camera shot three, is a close up of the firemen. The reason for this shot is to show the emotions of the firemen, which were shocked and anxi ous. Also to show their expressions, this shot could represent the firemen asking god for help or they were looking up to heaven, also it could suggest death This camera shot is of the American flag. It is a median low angle shot. This shot of the flag could represent power, pride for the country or maybe its a symbol. When the flag was shown it was meant to show experience and pride but after the attack the joy died.Tony the probe had to raise the flag everyday and pull it down every night to show respect, that they still think about there friend who died in a fire trying to save someone. After the attack on the twin towers Tony had to pull down the flag to show joy that none of his brothers died from the firehouse but he didnt want to raise or pull it down again because of all the death that happened that day. Camera shot five is of both twin towers but one has already had the plane crash into it. This shot is a median long shot it also has some mis en scene in it, theres smoke p aper and mist in this shot.The paper is flying around in the air coming down to the ground and settling also the smoke shows confusion because people couldnt see where they were going but there was daylight through the top of the sky before and after the attack. There was blue sky one side and the other side dear focus onto one tower at this moment the other tower wasnt touched at this stage. The paper and ashes could show and look like bodies burnet. The paper could also indicate to being confetti but confetti is to follow and it represents happiness but in this documentary its about death. Camera shot 6 is a long shot of after the attack.All of the people who were in the attack looked the same because of the ash, this could suggest that everyone is the same underneath but also it could show that all of the civilians have experienced the same thing. time the ash was falling down to the ground it looked like snow this is dry because snow is associated with Christmas which Is a ti me of good will and cheer. Costumes/ Props- once more the 9/11 only had one costume. Which was the firemens uniform, wearing this uniform it gave the firemen sense of pride and a sense of unity and togetherness, because in the 9/11 documentary the firemen talked about being brothers.The uniform also was safety-related in case of an emergency. It also gave them power wearing the uniform, the people of New York and from all over looked up to the fire-fighters for all there hard-work and effort. If the firemen got lost or hurt they wear badges with there fire stations and ladder they work at so people can recognize the fire-fighters, this is similar to the soldiers from Ross- Kemp documentary and the way they have the regiment and battalion they belong to, on their uniform. liken to the soldiers the way that their uniform gives them a sense of pride and unity.The civilians clothes reflected that there were people from all over the world from different cultures and countries. This emp hasises how it had an impact on everyone not just New-York civilians. The clothes of the civilians mirrored the goal of the twin-towers as clothing got torn and tatty further on in the documentary. There were some props. Mainly there was paper floating in the sky from the building also there was business men with brief-cases and cleaning woman with shopping bags and pushchairs plus cameras and phones from all of the civilians.
