Textual Analysis 2: The impact of your choice-underage drinking and reckless driving

This documentary looks at deaths of people which are caused by car crashes due to the reckless driving of underaged children. They dive straight into the accidental deaths of victims of DUI's from the families and enforcers perspective of such crime. The enforcers are shown expressing how they regret their reckless and irresponsible driving, wishing that they were able to take back the damage they had made. The grieving of the family members is shown as well, even years later.

The documentary is introduced to us with a shot of a teenage girl sitting by a gravestone making it set in the graveyard, immediately setting the funereal and mournful mood. Using natural light they make it as low-key as possible to create the dark atmosphere.

Afterwards, the screen fades to black while the dynamic sentence, 'We Make Choices', appears on screen, this, in addition to the previous shot work together to deliver a powerful emotional impact on the viewer which results in the audience considering and thinking about the choices they have made throughout their life.

Editing in this documentary is slow paced in the sense that there are many long takes that linger over the characters expressions that are within the film showcasing their inner problems to the viewer. Continuity editing is very carefully calculated to alternate between shots of the family members and the victim themselves in unravelling the events of the night of the victims deaths. Each member in the documentary is in agreement of disproving the acts on reckless driving and even driving whilst they're intoxicated.

The music being played in the background is an intensified piano tune used to raise the extremity of the audiences emotions.
