One thing I have discovered whilst researching into sports documentaries is the way in which they vary in their use of sound and music. Sports documentaries predominately use music solely to set the scene and to turn ensure that it doesn't give off too serious of an approach.
In the Class of 92, the majority of the soundtrack are songs from the 90's which helps set the scene for what times were like in the 1990's in Britain. The entire soundtrack comes from mancunian artists which helps set the scene even more. As this a Manchester based documentary, then it is important to get a specific atmosphere and feel for this film and I personally feel that this has been done to the best of their ability. In sports documentaries such as this one, ambient nosies are not used as they are not needed and often do not give off the required feel that is needed for a sports documentary.
All of the voiceovers in this documentary are either pieces of archived radio footage, archived tv commentary and dialogue from the people who are interviewed throughout the film. The speech is quite slow and relaxed which gives off the impression of a comfortable pace of speech. The instrumentation is relaxed and upbeat and has certain segments of tense moments. This helps to keep the audience excited and on edge at all times. The film consists of primarily dialogue which is used in a variety of formats.
