Interactive documentaries
1.
2. This documentary style is less typical, as it does not follow the
usual form of a traditional documentary in terms of video,
audio, photographic – by using different multi media tools
in the film.
Interactive documentaries provide a unique medium to create
non-linear productions, and combine photography, text,
audio, video, animation, info graphic and other media
forms.
This makes them stand out against traditional types of
documentaries produced.
3. A large variety of documentaries feature an “interactive mode”. This
includes scenes that involve those being filmed responding to
questions asked by the internal producer or different members of the
public. Questions that are asked by the film maker may be edited out
during these interviews.
The opinions of the person being interviewed (interviewee) could be
deemed untrustworthy/trustworthy in dependence of the context
which applies.
This ode may also be deemed as belittling to the interviewee as it could
be designed to make them appear foolish, idiotic or childish.
This mode makes the surrounding camera crews presence aware to the
audience.
4. Interactive documentaries are usually an investigation-research type of
documentary, with the goal being to leave the audience knowing
someone they would have before. For examples, many interactive
documentaries exist about controversial deaths of celebrities, and
include interviews with close friends or family members discussing
events and the person.
They reflect the way that the world we live in is presented to us.
Interviews inclusive may be long and include short takes and long takes
throughout.
Location shooting includes hand held camera filming, which could
progress to a whole crew being necessary to use a track to film.
There is usually a voiceover during a part o the documentary to provide
additional information.
