Supersize Me

Supersize Me (2004) Morgan Spurlock
This documentary is a single camera production where it follows a man who eats only Mcdonalds for a month to see the harm that can happen to someone body. They do not use many complex shot types as they are trying to inform as there main goal of the documentary.
The trailer for the documentary starts with an over the shoulder shot of Morgan Spurlock ordering a Mcdonalds at the drive through to show the audience what is happening in the documentary. It then cuts to a close up shot of him eating the Mcdonalds and looking very unhappy as if to show that the outcome is going to be very bad and he is not going to enjoy eating so much Mcdonalds. It then cuts to a mid shot of him sitting down on the sofa looking very sad because of the effects that Mcdonalds is causing him. It then cuts to along shot of Morgan with a doctor to show that he is getting medical help during the time that he is eating the Mcdonalds and to show what the effects of eating this much Mcdonalds can do to your body. It then cuts to another close up shot of another doctor to show the audience that he is getting more than one person giving him medical advice as well as showing a shot where there are statistics of his body. It then shows a mid shot time lapse of him eating the Mcdonalds as that is what the documentary is about. It then continues to show Morgan with a doctor as eating the Mcdonalds is very damaging to the body. We then see a low angle shot of him on a treadmill to show the lengths that he has to go to so that the audience can see what he has to do so that he can complete what he has started. It then cuts to more shots of Spurlock with a doctor which emphasis how bad Mcdonalds is for your body when you eat it so often. The majority of the shots that were used in the trailer were shots that were used to show how bad Mcdonalds and the health problems that can be caused by eating so much of it.
