BLOG QUESTION: IF I DIE ON MARS DOCUMENTARY

What are 3 techniques that it uses that you learned about in the documentary? How does the documentary use them effectively? Are there any techniques it uses that weren't in the keynote?

Some documentary techniques that are used in the documentary are talking-head styled interviews, inter-cutting between b-roll that follows the daily schedule of the astronauts, their family/home life, and also b-roll that supports the topic of the documentary (space, American flag, etc.). The documentary uses this affectively to keep the audience engaged, and to have them sympathize with the stories of the contributors. I'm not sure if this fits into any categories in the key-note, but the b-roll at the end is staged, montage and dream-like, and filmed at sunset which gives a nice concluding ending to the documentary as it is being wrapped up.
