Self-reflexive documentaries follow people around with their knowledge that they are being filmed, and the subjects may stop to speak to the camera. Docudramas feature dramatized reenactments of real events. Fly on the wall documentaries involve an unobtrusive camera crew and commonly include interviews of the subjects. Docusoaps film people in a particular job or location over time and can be impacted by subjects changing behavior due to being filmed. Fully narrated documentaries use voiceovers to provide context and explanation for visuals, often seen in nature documentaries. Mixed documentaries combine different documentary techniques like interviews and archival footage.

This document discusses censorship and whether it is a good or bad idea. It provides examples of how censorship is used to protect children and religious views by restricting inappropriate content. However, censorship can also be seen as a bad idea as it limits freedom of speech and expression.

The document discusses how censorship aims to prevent psychological harm but can also harm freedom. Overall it examines the complex debate around censorship and both the potential benefits and drawbacks.
