Its narrative structure is very noticable during this documentary. The first 5/6 minutes is used to set the scene with this section being about the music industry and the awards. It then moves onto being focussed on Meat Loaf himself and talks abou his downfall. It then concludes with Meat Loafs success with him having a number 1 for 8 weeks.
There is alot of hand-held camerawork used at the beginning of the documentary whilst on the red carpet in order to make it more exciting and dramatic, it may aslo make the audience feel like they are actually there, leading to them feeling more involved.
There is a point of view shot which is used to put the audience into that specific situation which is used in order to engage the audience and make them continue to watch the documentary.
A low angle shot is used on the person speaking at the awards, this is done in order to show his importance as it makes the audience look up to him.
When looking at the mise-en-scene, Meat Loaf is used as the background for the voice-overs in order to keep the audience intrigued into the documentary so it doesn't get boring. The interviewee is also filmed infront of a blue or green screen so that the background of the interview can easily be edited out.
When interviewing there is also a background of Meat Loafs CD which fits into the conversation when talking about the 2 different CD front covers they are comparing.
There is also a mise-en-scene of Virgin to communicate were the interviewee is from as it shows which company he is interviewing from. The logo of the company is presented in the bottom left hand side corner.
Through sound, there is non-diegetic sound used of the audience screaming in order to convey his success.
There is also a voice-of-god used of male voice which related to the fact that the documentary is about a male artist and fits in well, the voice is also formal as it is a public event which they are watching.
The music used builds up as it gets to the chorus of the song in order to add impact to the main part of the song.
The editing in this documentary is mostly noticable on the interviews, a fade-in fad-out is used when the interviewee is presented, this makes them seem more important and in authority.
The editing is fast in order to create pace and energy. When the documentary goes from the music video onto the interview with Meat loaf there are lots of cross-fades of several different things in order to make it seem more exciting and intriguing.
Throughout the documentary lots of archive material is used mainly consisting of still images for example an image of Meat loafs CD. There is also archive material of Meat loaf performing and his music video's.
Lots of graphic images are used at the beginning which straight away draw in the audiences attention. The opening credits are done in a very different way as they are presented as a magazine front cover with several small sound bites.
The logo name is written under interviewee in order to give the company their identity.
There is also Gothic typography used when the quotes are going across the middle of the screen in order to reinforce the genre of music this documentary is about.
