Documentary Modes

Expository -The purpose of this documentry mode is to inform and educate the audience about the subject or topic. The camera and crew are normally invisible to the audeience. The documentary is scripted and accompanied by a voice over narration.


Observational -
This is a greater degree of naturalism, its where the camera crew or filmmakers are enabled to record people in their natural enviroment with a minimum of fuss.



Fly on the wall -The aim of this mode is to give the audience a sence of unmediated access to the world. It approaches to blend into the background as the subjects go about their daily business.


Interactive/Reflexive-In this mode the filmmakers presence is fully acknowledged, with the filmmaker often both author and character in his or her movie, often appearing in shot and interacting with other people in the film or programme. The film might offer suprises, play with conventions or aim to provoke reactions from subjects and the audience.
