• A documentary is a nonfictional motion
picture intended to document some aspect of
reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction or
maintaining a historical record.
• The "original" actor and "original" scene are
better guides than their fiction counterparts to
interpreting the modern world; and that materials
"thus taken from the raw" can be more real than
the acted article.
• “Creative treatment of actuality"

6. Types of Documentaries
• A very common style, particularly on television, is the
expository or essay style. The approach in an essay-style film
is investigative and academic.
• Another popular style is the observational style. The approach
is very hands-off; the camera follows action that is beyond the
control of the filmmaker. Subjects speak to each other, not an
interviewer; the structure is in a story format.
• The interactive or reflexive style the filmmaker is not trying to
hide that a film is being made; in fact, the people in the film
are seen interacting with the film crew and/or the
documentary includes information about the production.
