1. Emergency Bikers / Series 3. Episode 10.
Channel 5, Wednesday 14th September 2011, 8pm
I analysed the documentary at one minute into he documentary, as there is the title screen and a section that shows what has happened previously in the series. The documentary begins with narrator introducing a member of the emergency biker team. This is accompanied by several shots of him taking of his helmet. The fast series of medium and close-up shots finish on a close-up of shot of Mark Hayes face. Next to his face is text, which lets the audience know his name, nickname, years in the service and the bike he rides. I quite like this, as it shows how committed and experienced the members are, however it also gives the audience a person to relate with. I may incorporate something similar to this in my documentary.
This is then followed by a long shot of Mark getting on his bike after being called to an emergency and this shot is closely followed by a series of fast paced extreme close-up shots of the speed-o-meter, the motorcycle wheels and Mark clutching on to the bikes handle bars, as well as eye view shots of traffic. The fast pace of the editing connotes the fast speeds the emergency bikers have to travel at to get to emergencies and ultimately save peoples lives. The narrator then begins to list medical equipment that is carried with the bikes and this is followed by extreme close-up shots of the equipment being packed into the bag. Again, I quite like this and may incorporate this into my documentary.
We then see Mark drive through the city in a series of long shots and extreme close-ups of the bike and Mark. We then see him get off the bike and approach the situation through a hand-held camera shot.
