king of laughter analysis

This is a observational documentary. Narrative of this documentary is about a African middle aged man who has lost everything in his past through family to all is business. Since then he "started to laugh to survive" this suggest to the viewer who was watching this that he laughs for a living to take all his pain away of what happened in his past.

The construction of the documentary was made by several shots of being repeated through out the scenes for example from half way through the film the man talks while the camera is fixed on to his face where he is laughing at a continuous rate also this has a effect on the audience by showing them that the subject cannot stop laughing and shows that it is a fact and he is not joking about. Also the editing of this scene was by speeding the clip up by a few seconds so it can speed up the time and shows what happens when he is socializing in his community. plus the shots that was taken of him was indirect for example it shows that his talking to other people and he was laughing but at the background where there was no sound of the crowd there was music running and the subject talking at to the audience however there was no sound of the interviewer speaking.
in addition to that when the scene is changing there is a fade in of the beat or the music kick in and also the camera shot repeats however this time it is chopped up and placed in the time line few seconds after random shots. Also it shows the moment to places to place by using these effects.
The introduction of this video shows the location of where the man lives but it no one speaks about where the subject lives but it shows key shots of where the person live for example the the local train station. and then it just goes straight to the point about the subject

 The purpose of this video is to fantasize the people about a strange man who's cannot stop laughing for example the video give keys stats about what the person of what he does and a bit about his personal life. 

People who would want to watch this documentary is the people who would like to know what kind of people there is around the world and people who are in to exploring different types of society

Father of 84 Kids | The World's Biggest Family and Me | Channel 4 analasys

LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_49-BeMBIQQ&feature=relmfu

This documentary is 2.00mins long.

 It's about a a brief over view on a man who lives in the UAE and has 84 kids. IT doesn't drag on what happens through out the video it shows the main points that the audience would ask as a question such as 'how does he remember all those names?' that would be a questions that anyone who watches it would think. so the production team or the interviewer would ask that question.

The job of the interviewer in short documentary's such as this short video is that he has to think about the main questions that the audience would like to ask. Also the interviewer questions the farther of the 84 kids  a bit about his personal life such as 'how did you lose your leg?' By the audience watching the short film they would want to know why the man is on crutches and the interviewer gets the question out for the audience.

MISE EN SCENE
I will first start of by talking about the shots that were taken through out the video. The shots were quite short and simple. also it was taken mainly positioned at a high point. The shots were aimed at the interviewers head and the main persons whose speaking. however at times the conversation runs through the Background which the shots are aimed at the kids playing about. This shows that while the dad is talking about the kids the kids are portrayed as kids that a living a happy childhood.

The sound at the Background while the random shots are played through is religious and portrays the cultural inhabits that the family would have. also it portrays the environment that they live in is a islamic society so the kids would be brought up to be muslims.

The setting or place the scenes was shot at was at a light sunny environment  this supports that the fact the documentary is footage in the UAE. also this is a advantage for the audience who are tuning in to the show because it makes it easier for them to see, what is going on.

Their was no set up props in the film this shows that everything is occurring naturally at the background and that is how a pure documentary is meant to be like.

The target audience who i think is aimed is people who enjoy watch extraordinary documentary and also the people who has a interest in watching how different cultures work and how they are like.
