A documentary is a type of genre which fits into the 
categories TV or Film. Using pictures, interviews and 
archives with people involved in real events helps to 
persuade an audience of the argument the film maker is 
trying to make. Produced to inform the audience on an 
area their audience may not know about creates another 
purpose of its creation; to educate. As well as educate, a 
documentary has to entertain. This will ensure a growth in 
views and will also maintain an audiences attention and 
interest.
John Grierson was the first to use the word 
"documentary" in relation to a film. Grierson 
returned to Britain at the end of the 1920s with 
a deeply held conviction that film-making 
could be a force for good in society. In 1930 
he persuaded the EMB to form a film unit, 
headed by himself, to produce 
"documentaries".

Vladimir Propp

 Interested in narrative of folk tales 
 He believes that characters provide a structure for a 
specific text 
 8 different types; Hero, Villian, Father, Princess,

Todorov 
 He believed that all films followed the same narrative pattern 
 There are five stages the narrative can progress through: 
1. A state of equilibrium 
2. A disruption of that order by an event. 
3. A recognition that the disorder has occurred. 
4. An attempt to repair the damage of the disruption. 
5. A restoration of a new equilibrium
Roland Barthes 
 French Literacy Theorist 
 Describes text as a ‘galaxy of signifiers, not a 
structure of signifieds’ 
 Said that texts may be ‘opened’ or ‘closed’ 
 Broken down into 5 codes which are woven into any 
narrative ; Action code, Enigma code, Semic code, 
Symbolic code and Cultural code.
