DOCUMENTARY: Dreams of a Life (Dir: Carol Morley, 2011)

Interviews from reporters
Shots of abandoned flat - recreation
Interviews with old friends, speaking to crew and with crew
People speaking in hindsight - sentiment obscures truth

First way in through lover
Interviews paired with recreations of her, throughout life and death - mostly based on assumptions and second hand knowledge from FRIENDS ETC

Uses research timeline of life to help progress story

Sequences typically very dark, with naturalistic lighting
Focus always on Joyce
Interviews are still, tripod shots
Sequences handheld

Introduces recorded clip of voice

Very little actuality

Finishes with real image of Joyce
