This document discusses the reflective documentary style, which focuses on the filmmaking process and how reality is constructed through showing aspects like camera operators. The author chooses this style because it is more relaxed and up close with the presenter compared to other styles. Reflective documentaries also incorporate a range of features like interviews and narration that the author wants to include in their own documentary, as seen in shows by Ross Kemp, Bear Grylls, Louis Theroux, Stacey Dooley, and Reggie Yates.

2.  This is a style that is usually associated with more experimental documentaries,
ones in which the filmmakers are interested as much in the process of making a
film, of how reality can be constructed, as the actual content. At the simplest level
the film may make no attempt to hide aspects of its construction - showing us the
camera people for example.

3.  I am using this type of documentary because it is up close with the presenter and is
more relaxed then other types of documentaries.
 Also, it is a type of documentary that would have a lot of features in like interviews,
narrator, seeing the cameramen etc.
 Like my documentary I want to use a range of features and I want to include
narration as well as interviews and I feel that reflective is the best for this because
documentaries like Ross Kemp and Reggie Yates have narration and interviews in so I
know this is the best one for my documentary.
