In order to decide what type of documentary our group wants to make we decided to research different modes of documentary. I found out that there are 4 different forms of documentaries.
Reflective this is where the film maker acknowlages their presence. Meaning sometimes in documentaries such as Louis Theroux the documenatry maker (Louis Theroux) is in presence within the shots of the documentary. Poetic is a for whereby an artistic naritive is constructed. Observational is being there as events unfold and Expository is an essay or exposition.
I also researched what documentaries try to achieve. Documentaries will either record, reveal or preserve. Persuade or promote. Analyse, interrogate or to express.
