The Model Agency


It follows the lives of the model agents at Premiere and also features a selection of their models. There is a sense of progression within the documentary as the first episode begins by introducing the new faces and launching them into their first New York fashion week, the following episodes then show the rest of the show season as it goes on. The audience can clearly see how hard all of the bookers work, which is furthered by the fact that it is predominantly shot within their head office in London. This is shown mainly through long shots, also giving a fly on the wall sense to the documentary, making it seem a more realistic depiction of the agents every day lives at work.



Moreover there are a series of interviews featured throughout with each of the agents and several models, enabling the audience to better relate to and understand each character. These are all shot as close ups against a white background, which makes them seem as though they are on the set of some sort of photo shot.




Another important feature which was also used within the racing documentary on Frankel and Henry, was the use of the text in the bottom corner of the interview shots, giving the persons name and job title. These are also sometimes used within the first shot of a character in the office, depending on when they are introduced to the audience.
