Documentaries these

Are the codes and conventions

That I have come up it

Editing There are a number of editing styles such as:

Chromakey- the layering of two imagers Elipical editingCutsFast motionSlow motion

These are the main Marjory of the editing styles used throughout documentaries

soundVoice over- Young male or female. Standard english

The camerawork though out also follows the form and conventions. The interviewee is in a close up ,medium close up and big close up. The rule divides the frame into nice sections. The points of interest occur at 1/3 or 2/3 of the way up or across the frame rather than in the centre.

some well known camera techniques are:

•Pan•Zoom in •Zoom out•Tracking
