ways in which truth is shown in a documentary

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-men-who-jump-off-buildings/4od



After watching an advert for a car i can't buy and a Tom Jones CD i don't want to buy on the 4OD site, the programme starts.

Notice i haven't chosen the most obvious documentary, as to be honest they bore me, i think it will be interresting to note how this one shows truth and compare it to your everyday boring documetary.

This documentary uses a mixture of base jumping clips and one-on-one interviews to show the truth of how the base jumping world works.

The documentary follows two base jumpers, Dan Witchalls and Ian Richardson, these two jumpers are nicknamed the "bandit jumpers" due to the fact that they jump buildings at night.

We learn that some of the london landmarks they have jumped from include:
  • wembley stadium
  • the O2 arena
  • nelsons collum
  • the hilton hotel

During the documentary truth is shown through the use of original jump footage and personal interviews with the jumpers.
