This video is a short documentary about the Catacombs in Paris, France. The narrative events are exploring the catacombs and trying to re-create the footsteps of a man who was lost down there. The sub genre of the documentary is informative, horror, entertainment. I am going to analyse the first 5 minutes of the clip.

The mise en scene of the clip is made up of the crews personal footage, the mans lost footage and on screen text on a black background with narrative over the top. The footage is all filmed on a hand held camera. I think this is because it helps to create a spooky tension as it is from a more first person view which highlights the fact that the explorers are also discovering it for the first time.
