Textual Analysis:

'Millennials Stigma Documentary' is a narrated documentary where a girl looks at all factors of what it means to be a millennial. She explores different views and perspectives on millennials using facts and statistics that are seen in the documentary.

Duration: 51 mins

Characters: public members between 18-35, of all genders and ethnicity also features people that are not millennials to get a bigger, outside view of the generation

Location: Various places such as house rooms, outside locations like parks and schools

Style/Form: Documentary





















There are many medium shots when interviewing the character, this allows viewers to see the location as well as feeling like they are having the conversations with the characters. There are multiple medium shots to allow the intimate connection and viewers are then engaged with the stories. These shots are used to allow viewers to focus on what characters are saying and very little setting is shown.














Being a documentary there are many hand held shots. I believe the choice of using this movement is to keep with the conventions of a documentary and the convention of realism. The movement of hand held camera shots also make viewers feel as if they are a part of the show as well as factoring in that documentaries are part a real life story.














What I am going to take from this documentary is how it uses various shots like long-shots to show locations and the environment to set a style for the documentary. I like how the context of the show covers stereotypes of millennials and what millennials mean to society by interviewing millennials and older generations who are not considered as millennials.
