The Presenter

The presenter in my documentary is very detached from the program, he only appears occasionally and is usually only heard narrating over footage, when he does appear it is only for a while. This aura of detachedness also frees up space on the screen for other things to occur or be shown such as the footage from a video game.
The footage is almost used to immerse the viewers into the game while having a discussion about games and how bad they are for people because they get immersed. This could be the documentary trying to show the views who may already be certain they dislike games, that they are just a bit of harmless fun or it could be trying to show the uncertain people a sort of 'look this is promoting gun violence' or it could just be a focal point for the gamers who may be watching, it is something that would be reveled further into the documentary, i was also planning to have some of the documentary presenter by a character from a game by manipulating some of the features of the game to make a character look as though they were talking to a camera - the inspiration for this has came from an Internet form of entertainment known as machinima a link to this style of entertainment can be found here
