    The document analyzes different documentary styles used by BBC and ITV based on conventions discussed in class. BBC documentaries aim to inform, educate and entertain using public funding and take a more balanced approach. ITV documentaries are more populist in style using advertisements, dramatic music, low angle shots and montages to sensationalize topics and blind obvious facts for entertainment purposes before the watershed time. Both use techniques like voiceovers, establishing shots, handheld cameras and real footage to seem realistic while conveying different goals.
