Narrative structure.
Marylin Manson was blamedfor the influence of the teenagers. It follows a time line and the events. Within this documentary it goes back in time towards the end so this would be circular.The narrative is epic this means it will jump from place to place. It then goes on to all three girls planning the murder and then confessing what they have done, it shows this on real footage recorder. Within this documentary it tells the audience more of why it happened than it did of what actually happened. There is also a mixture of voiceovers narrating it, as it alo shows real footage recording of all the girls speaking.


Camera Work.
There aere establishing shots of the crowds jumping around and screaming fans - this shows how many teenagers Marylin could be influencing.

Marylin Mandon is a kinf of rebelious person as when hes walking down the streets of Italy he stands out because he is unique and his dress sense is quite dark, this is most probably why the blame was put on him.
