Best In Show is a mockumentary directed by Christopher Guest. It shows the lives of 5 entrants who are passionate about there dogs preparing for the ultimate must win dog show. The documentary jumps between each of the owners from preparation for the dog show to their hotel, backstage and finally to the dog show itself. Guest uses many techniques which effectively make the mockumentary look realistic such as the use of handheld camera, almost placing the audience within the scenes.
Christopher Guest is known for using the same actors as he likes his scripts to be spontaneous, he gives no set scripts, in Best In Show characters seem to overlap and interrupt each other giving the audience the impression that it is real. The exaggeration from each character makes this documentary somewhat humorous but portrays their passion for dogs so well.
