My documentary challenges some conventions of real expository and observational documentaries. While it includes interviews and narration like an expository piece, it does not present the information in chronological order. It also structures footage around interview questions rather than following a story. Additionally, the observational elements differ from a traditional "fly on the wall" approach because the subjects knew they were being filmed so the footage would be natural rather than staged. Gaining consent and making the autistic students comfortable required challenging conventions by explaining the purpose and allowing them to adjust to the camera before recording sensitive interviews.
