Analysing Language in Documentaries

I think a lot of things can change what we see in documentaries, like the scenes, way it is shot, sounds etc.

Here are some things I think that sets the mood of a documentary:


Techniques
Effects
Low toned, slow music
Scary, a lot of tension
Fast, high pitched, major key
Happy, exciting, pleasant
Slow with a subtle mix of both keys, no sharp instruments
Relaxed, calm, peaceful
Speeches from people with negative thoughts
Inspires the viewer to think negatively
Speeches from people with positive thoughts
Inspires the viewer to think positively
Fast panned scenes
Lots of things going on, lots of tension, very action-typed-movie-like.
Slow panned scenes
Relaxed, not a lot going on
