Dark Days and Man on a Wire were similar in the main shots they took, which were mainly long and medium shots and a few Mise-En-Scene photos. I don’t remember either having a frame around the film or pictures, in the case of Man on the Wire. Although Dark Days was more structured in the way the documentary was told with very little flash backs, Man on the Wire was the better and more interesting film. Both had key shots such as medium and long shots, however Man on the Wire took it beyond with all the tracking shots and panning shots it had, which helped to emphasize the size of not only the twin towers but the spaces he across and practiced in. Such as, when it panned up and down to show the height of the twin towers the only shot like that in Dark day, that I can remember, is the sideway tilt close up of the trains. There were many archival photos in Man on a Wire and this helped the audience to build a connection to Philippe and his love of wire waking, it was also added proof of him walking across the twin towers which is what any skeptic watchers would need. The only extra photo in Dark days was the emphasized eviction letter the homeless received; this could be argued that Dark Days was more of a documentary because it focused solely on the homeless at that time instead of all the back story like in Man on a Wire, however the back stories are what made the latter more interesting and somewhat confusing. The added graphics such as the plane flying to America and little short reenactments of the guards and crew setting up the wire helped to make the documentary more like a film and as such it was more entertaining. When it came to cuts and scene changes Man on the Wire was also better, Dark Days tended to cut from one scene straight into another where Man on the Wire had dramatic fades, such as when introducing people. The interviews/ Monologues in Man on a Wire were better in how the medium shots of the people were done in a more traditional setting ad had better lighting so you could see the faces more.
