The devil made me do it

Themes:

-Religion

-Crime

-Violence

-The devil

-Propoganda

Narrative Structure:

The structure of the documentary is linear with key dates and events such as trials and concets including epic flashbacks to implement the key story line. but it could also be deemed as a circular narrative as it goes back in time before the death of the nun to try and figure out the motives of the girl for killing the nun

Camerawork:
-Cuts to religious paraphinalia such as crucifixies and other pictures with religious connotatios

-The rule of thirds is always present in each different interview taken

-Establishing shots of the crowd at concerts

-Close ups and extreme close ups

Mise-En-Scene:
-Lots of religious paraphinalia in each scene, gives off a religious presence as lots of the props used carry  religious connotations. For exapmle, crucifixes are frequently seen in the documentary.

-Black clothing is frequently used, which connotes death and misery. Its also of a gothic nature to as the make up thats used is stereotypical of someone that is this way inclined

-Marilyn's make up- unique, different but what he is universally known for doing. The long shot where he is in Italy makes him stand out from the crowd and not fit in with society.

-Lots of the settings are filmed in a natural surrounding making the footage come across as more realistic, as if the audience is actually involved in the documentary.

-People interviewed in their homes- personal

Sound:
-Sad and depressing music which sets the mood throughtout the documentary

-Dramatic criscendos to buid tension and suspense

Editing:

-Frequently cuts to pictures and graphics of religious paraphinalia to reinforce the ideas of satanity the documentary explores.

-Quick transitions match the fast paced nature of the documentary, but it also contains slow transitions to portray an emotive feel.

Archive Material:

-Filming of Marilyn Mansons concerts in Italy

-Footage of these concerts backstage

-Marilyn Mansons music videos

-Filming of different suspects going to the trial

Graphics:

-'The Devil made me do it' in graphics, at the end of each chapter. This also carrys religious connotations as it is a religious font, but also has a gothic edge due to the colour scheme. Both of which tie into the theme of the documentary on a whole.
