As James and his family are walking along the path towards the graves a very patriotic orchestral music is being played, the rhythm is based on their footsteps,
every step James takes there is a beat of a drum. As they enter the grave yard the camera rises up above the grave stones and shows the vast number of graves.

The documentary highlights many key moments in Clinton’s campaign, for example the Gennifer Flowers scandal. However, the film showcases what was happening behind closed doors in the War Room, where Clinton’s
The first film technique spielberg successfully uses is cinematography. Specifically, he uses close up shots on Frank and Carl’s face during their conversation about whether Carl is telling the truth and then swears on his daughter's life. During these close ups, there is a good use of camera movement by zooming even further into their faces. The use of this technique gives a strong effect on the audience by showing the seriousness and emotion in the characters faces. It also shows the tension and suspense in the room. This shows
