Senna and everything had to be just how he liked it.

The documentary Is full of lots of montage footage such as this long shot of Senna taking a

corner. This connotes his dominance of the track and other drivers and as you can see in the

personality.

This medium shot of Pirro a fellow driver being a talking head in an interview connotes his

thoughts about Senna and the legacy which he has left behind with other drivers.

This real time footage of when Senna got his first ever driving experience connotes that his ability

outweighed any other drivers because he has stated from such a young age. The red jacket he

experience and progress his ability of his driving by watching other successful drivers and trying

to replicate them.

This long shot of a crash between Senna and his teammate surrounded by mechanics connotes Senna’s willingness to win and his competitive nature. This also connotes his passion for the sport as “finishing second for Senna was like

finishing last”.

This voice of god narration and a medium close up of Senna going aggressively into a corner

whilst a non- diegetic sound of Senna’s car can be heard connoting his powerful driving style.

The documentary uses the convention of a talking head which is familiar in documentaries. The medium close up connotes the intensity of

the topic and the sadness of the topic.

The dark coloring surrounding the title connotes threat and gives the ominous feeling of the documentary. It gives the impression to the

audience of the difficult and upsetting nature of the documentary and helps them to understand

his life.

The use of dark lighting surrounding the talking head connotes intensity of the interview, this combined with a medium close signifies the

desire to spread awareness of the true amazement of Ayrton Senna.
