cinematography: zoom ins are used throughout the documentary to capture the peoples reaction in greater detail informing the audience of how the situations on screen effect people on a personal level.

mise en scene: mise en scene is used to show poverty within Cameroon. This is shown through the lawyers office where it is seen to be messy with papers everywhere, people using branches to clean and old outdated computers. The lawyer seen is meant to be a big figure within the community so by showing her office like this it shows how everyone would be in poverty.

sound: only diegetic sound is heard throughout the whole documentary to prevent severe mediation making the footage taken as authentic and realisctic as possible.

editing: each case within sisters in law isn’t all shown at once but edited into 10 minute sections be fore showing another case and continuing the first later. This mimics A and B plots seen in fiction film which the director has said to want to replicate to be more connected to the people seen within the documentaries.
