Camera work:
Camera work:
Thre are Interviews with rules of thirds and they are mainly medium close ups.
There is an extreme close up of Angelina Jolie to show the audience its based around her, this is what the documetary is about so they need the attention on Laura Croft. Shot frames up game footage which then zooms out so the audience can see the consumer
Zooms in on magazines showing what teenagers like to look at and read through.
Pans across people playing the game to show the tension and atmosphere.Mise-en-scene:
Boys are all playing together shows the atmosphere and the relationship they have towards one another (friendly). Backgrounds were always relevant, and in some they did blue screen shots.

Quiet music in the background when the game was being played by people on the documentary showing the audience that they are concentrating.Editing:
Fast motion of the computers -this is maybe to fasten the paste up as it isnt the most important part in the documentary, could also make the effects look good and more interesting. Match on action shots are also used. Subtitles and images pop up on the documentary, for example they use white on black writing.
Blurred the background of game to concentrate on interviews, this was a blurred image of Laura croft to show the audience they are still talking about her but its not the main focus the interviewee was.
