This document outlines the requirements for studying documentary film as part of a global filmmaking perspectives course. Students must analyze one documentary film in relation to its film form techniques, how it represents meaning and audience response, and its social/historical contexts. They must also complete two specialist studies on critical debates around digital technology's impact on film and applying key filmmakers' documentary theories to their chosen film. The resource provides lesson plans to introduce students to documentary film through defining it, comparing its techniques to fiction film, and discussing philosophical debates around concepts like objectivity and truth in documentary.

1. Component 2
Global filmmaking perspectives
Section B: Documentary Film
This is a single film study where you will be required to study one film from the following
category – Documentary film
The films are chosen from one of the following;
• Sisters in Law (Ayisi and Longinotto, Cameroon and UK, 2005)
• The Arbor (Barnard, UK, 2010)
• Stories We Tell (Polley, Canada, 2012)
• 20,000 Days on Earth (Forsyth and Pollard, UK 2014)
• Amy (Kapadia, UK, 2005)
The films are studied in relation to the following areas;
The core study areas
o Area 1: The key elements of film form; cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing,
sound and performance
o Area 2: Meaning and response; how film functions as both a medium of
representation and as an aesthetic medium
o Area 3; The contexts of film: social, cultural, political, historical and
institutional, including production
Specialist studies
Learners will be required to approach documentary film in terms of two specialist
studies
1. Critical debate; The significance of digital technology in film
The degree of the impact the digital has had on film since the 1990s is a developing debate.
Some film commentators argue that, although digital technology could potentially transform
cinema, so far films, especially narrative films designed for cinema release, have changed
very little from pre-digital times. Others consider that the impact of digital filmmaking is only
beginning to emerge, both in high concept Hollywood filmmaking and in much lower budget
experimental work.
2. 2. Filmmaker’s Theories
The documentary film will be explored in relation to key filmmakers from the genre. The
documentary film studied may either directly embody aspects of these theories or work in a
way that strongly challenges these theories. In either case, the theories will provide a means
of exploring different approaches to documentary film and filmmaking.
Two of the following filmmakers' theories must be chosen for study:
Peter Watkins
Nick Broomfield
Kim Longinotto
Michael Moore
Introduction
What this resource will do is to offer a number of ways into teaching Documentary Film
which will be directly linked to what is outlined in the specification and also will feed into how
this area is going to be assessed in the examination.
The structure of this resource will be based around lesson tasks and ideas that will
supplement the delivery of this part of the course.
1. What is documentary?
This will offer some introductory tasks to the concept of documentary film, especially
in relation to the core areas of study.
2. Specialist Studies – Looking at and applying filmmaker’s theories
This will give a sense of the filmmakers named in the specification and their
approaches to documentary.
3. Critical Approaches - Significance of digital technology
This part of the resource will examine the impact of digital technology on the
documentary genre.
4. Case Study – Amy (Kapadia, 2015)
This unit will examine ways of teaching this film by focusing on key aspects of the
core and specialist areas of study. These methods can be easily transferable to the
other films in this section.
3. What is Documentary?
Task One – Personal responses
This is an individual task. List all the documentaries that you have seen and then
answer the following questions
Were they documentaries that you saw at the cinema?
Were they documentaries that you saw on television?
Were they documentaries that you saw through a streaming service – Netflix,
Amazon Prime?
4. If you have seen no or very few documentaries suggest reasons why this might be.
Task Two - Defining documentary
In pairs or small groups of three, come up with a clear definition of what you think
documentary is. Try to do this in less than 25 words.
5. Task Three – Defining documentary in relation to fiction film
In the same pairs or small groups think back to your first year of study. Choose one of the
American films that you studied – either from Hollywood 1930-1990 or American film since
2005 option.
Looking closely at the core area of study Area 1: The key elements of film form;
cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing, sound and performance map out how each of
these might be different from a documentary film.
Task 4. The techniques of Documentary Film
6. In small groups brainstorm what you think the main techniques of the documentary film
based on the core study area 1 are and what kinds of responses might they create in the
spectator
7. Task Five – Philosophical Debates on Documentary Film
Look at the following terms
Objectivity
Non-Fiction
Construction
Truth
Reality
Cinematic
1. Firstly outline what they mean in relation to documentary film.
2. Rank them in order of importance in how you view documentary, what is the
most important term as number 1 and the least as number 6.
3. Give reasons for your rank order.
