Research: The Wedding Shop Documentary (Textual Analysis 2)

After deciding on my topic for my documentary I have decided to do some research on the context of my topic - the different styles of wedding dresses. 

I have been watching a variety of wedding dress programs such as Say Yes to the Dress which explores the different dress styles available - it is filmed in Confetti and Lace. The shop also partook in a documentary from ITV called The Wedding Shop (Series 1 Episode 1 linked here ) . This documentary is good inspiration as it provides similar editing styles and shot types that I want to use for my own personal documentary. 

From the ITV website, details have been posted about the shop and details of the show. 'Every year around 250,000 couples tie the knot in the UK with Confetti and Lace being one of Yorkshire busiest wedding shops with up to 100 brides a month coming to choose their wedding dress' - link to the website here . 

Here is an article about the documentary linked here:












The show was aired on Tuesday 12th February 2013 and the 60 minute documentary follows day to day life at the shop and the stories of the brides leading up to their wedding days. ITV describes the documentary as 'a funny, heartfelt and unique insight into British lives and attitudes to marriage'. 



In the shot below, there is an interview with the owner of the shop - I have mirrored this and also conducted an interview with the owner of the shop I used. By copying the style of existing documentaries allows me to follow the codes and conventions of shows in the genre. 







This is a clip from an interview I have conducted from wedding dress shop - Chantilly Lace.
