Factual programming is a genre of non-fictional television programming that documents real people and real life events.
One of the news programmes i watched was about about how people would deal with emergency situations such as crash landing into water and underwater escape plans based in the indian navy, the studio news readers seemed to be very serious while addressing the matter as it is a serious issue and not something to jokes about as people's lives are in danger when incidents such as these occur, they addressed the issues in a dramatic way as if they felt that it was important for people to know that these things do happen and they wouldn't want them to feel like nothing is being done about it. when interviewing experts they showed them in a way of light where they knew everything as well as them trying to explain and be useful with the information that they were giving so that the audience could feel safe and that if anything of the sort happened they knew that there were professionals to help and advise them. The structure of the news programme started with the news reporter introducing the matter and giving the audience an insight to the story then after starting off the programme with the content where experts would explain their expertise for the audience to get more understanding of the matter, there is a lot of dramatic music used when there was footage of the training process happening to show the seriousness and dramatic effect of the matter.
Another new programme that i watched was a programme about fathers put behind bars who then get a chance to spend the day with their children. This programme is more personal and touching to the audience as they are able to understand the situation more due to the fact that there are a number of cases where children's parents are locked up in jail and don't get the chance to see them for a while, the interviews during the programme were more touching and heartfelt because you could start to imagine how the person is feeling and because there are children involved the audience may feel more emotional as the children are speaking about how life has been hard growing up without a father in their lives. The footage used in the new programme was more personal to the children and fathers because it was mostly images of the children who were younger and being able to re-visit memories of them and their dads this makes the programme more depth and realness to the stories.
I was able to watch and analyse documentary programmes, one of the documentaries was on Pablo Escobar,he was known as the biggest drug dealer in the world who had money, fame and power, the documentary was explaining how his life got to how it was when he died and why is was crucial to kill Escobar. The realism in the documentary was effective because there were interviews from members of his family speaking about how much trouble and problems pablo escobar had caused this makes the audience feel as if it is true because the members of his family experienced how he had ruin lives and they were there in person to see all he had done. The dramatization of the documentary showed more when the police were discussing their plan to kill Escobar and how they had been planning for a while to kill him due to all the chaos and disasters he had caused, this made the documentary seem very important as they were trying to send a message to people who did not know of Escobar and what he was capable of instead of people believing that he did not do much damage and there was no need of killing a man who may have not been responsible for his actions and people accusing him of causing chaos.
Another documentary programme i watched and was able to analyse was about madeleine mccann, a young girl who was taken from her hotel while her parents were having dinner in the hotel restaurant, the realism of the documentary was shown to be taken very serious due to the fact that this was an investigation where a child was missing and was viewed as sensitive to the viewers as they were putting their shoes in the parents of the missing child's shoes,this was shown because the tone of the documentary was serious because of the situation. Therefore there was Slightly less dramatization due to the fact that the case was seen as a sad event as well as confusing because in the documentary they showed the parents speaking and saying that they did not expect it to happen but the police investigators saying that they feel the parents are responsible for the actions of the missing child.
In conclusion news programmes are slightly different and more informative in a sense that you get news feed more about up to date information where as with documentaries you learn more about a touching and personal matter that people have lived and gone through.
