This is non-diegetic sound. The screen is black but the audio is in closed captions. 
The archival audio sets the scene and makes it as if we are in the classroom with the teacher and kids.

The news crew and in particular the presenter, had little sympathy to the situation at hand. The news presenter talks more about competition between other news crews than actually discussing the tragedy. Insensitive about the topic.]]> 2017-10-22 22:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199404725 "The youngest school shooting ever in the United States." https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199405003 "The youngest school shooting ever in the United States." Pathos is used to persuade the audiences of the events significance, highlighting the age of both the victim and the murderer. The statistic itself is used to emphasise the accessibility of the weapons, given that so far this was the youngest school shooter in American history.
A superlative is used in 'youngest' to highlight the seriousness of the situation.]]> 2017-10-22 23:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199405003 Brief outline https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199405771 Moore plays the audio of a 911 call, using non digetic sounds. He then proceeds to interview the principle of the school which both Kayla and the boy attended. He then moves into the classroom and the scene cuts away. As the scene has cut away he explains the situation of the boy and the mother, discussing their reasoning for moving in with the Uncle and how this led to the boy taking the gun to school.

This is depicted in the way that a 6 year old boy had access to a gun, and how he was able to cause the death of Kayla Rowland. ]]> 2017-10-24 00:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199813006 Quote about the aftermath https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199815360 "It was amazing to me. Groups that were affiliated with the NRA, groups, people I'd call gun nuts... They wanted this little boy hung from the highest tree... There was such an undercurrent of racism and hate and anger."-Arthur Busch, county prosecutor of Flint Michigan.]]> 2017-10-24 00:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199815360 The screen fades to black and Moore uses graphics on the screen as we listen to the 911 call that came from Buell Elementary school. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199838608
The teacher becomes increasingly despondent as she talks to the dispatcher, and finally she wails, "Please Lord! Please Lord! Please Lord!

Then an exterior of the school, as Moore's voice-over reveals that the school was in Flint, Michigan (his hometown). The boy found a gun in his uncle's house, brought it to school, and shot the girl. Cut to a tiny plastic elementary school chair. Moore's voice-over - "With one bullet, that passed through her body, she fell to the floor and laid there dying, while her teacher called 911 for help. No one knew why the little boy wanted to shoot the little girl." charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199838817 2017-10-24 03:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199838817 "I don't want it to happen to anyone else." charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199839622 2017-10-24 03:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/sm7dgjwqvwz2/wish/199839622
