I analysed the opening five minutes of this documentary. The documentary follows real conventions as straight away there is archive footage implemented in the documentary showing soldiers fighting for their country. Within the documentary there is also expert interviews of former deputy directors of the US and other MP's from Iraq itself. This again is following real conventions of a documentary.
There are also still images used within the documentary to show the agony and ca hos it has caused millions of people around the world. Furthermore there is a variety of camera angle shots used within the documentary, for instance close up and mid close up shots during the interviews.
The credits appear in mostly white and the word 'uncovered' appears in red. The reason the director may have used white credits within the documentary maybe to symbolise hope and make the audience feel maybe one day the war on Iraq may come to an end. Red may symbolise bloodshed as the director may want to show the reality of wart which was not shown in any other documentary.
