'Life in a Day' is an poetic / observational documentary which I have used as an influence and example for my own documentary ideas. I really like the way that this documentary film is edited (fast-paced, lots of clips) as I think that it creates a sense of verisimilitude and reality (which is a large purpose of the documentary).
The whole feature is available on YouTube since they were a major sponsor & producer.
I watched the documentary and summarised some main conventions below in a textual analysis…
This is the trailer for the documentary:
I do not plan on making a documentary trailer however, I plan to create an extract. But, I thought it would be interesting to explore the ancillary products as well as the film itself.
I also looked at a few online reviews for the documentary -
