Audience
The audience for this video would be very interesting as The Rock is so well known. As an entertainer he will be an idol to younger children, especially boys which may attract them to this video. A lot of children like to copy the actions of their idols so The Rock showing off his ink may influence younger children to want tattoos when they are older. Him being so well known and popular will bring in a bigger audience anyway.
Theorists
Michael Rabiger - This tells a good story of why and how an influential character in the media had his tattoos done. However, it does not value neutral information as the whole documentary focuses on The Rock and his stories and opinions. The documentary does include an interesting character in the form of a popular, well - known, idolised wrestler, as he is so popular, especially with a younger audience, he is not trying to encourage or influence people to get tattoos he is informing people of the reasoning and inspiration behind his inking. This Doc develops a detailed knowledge of one character is particular, as he is such a big character and in the spotlight the documentary gets away with just having him there.
Renov - This documentary informs as The Rock is giving a detailed analysis of why he had his tattoos and what was the inspiration behind them, he is also informing us what they mean to his career and why he likes tattoos so much.
Male voyeurism is used in this documentary as when the camera is focusing on The Rock's tattoos he isn't wearing much at all and is very much showing of his body, people who have seen or know of The Rock will know he's also known for his built appearance which could also be an attraction to watching this documentary.
How this will help develop our documentary
We will not be able to have such a popular well known superstar in our documentary so as well as it works for this documentary we could not bring that idea into ours. Using only one character and one story works for this documentary because of who he is however we could not use those ideas in ours.
