Conventions of a documentary
Exposition-In a documentary, the exposition occurs at the beginning and introduces the important themes of the film. It is important
because it creates the viewer's first impression and introduces the viewer to the content.
Dramatic segments of the documentary are specially chosen in order to catch the viewer’s attention. These shots are specifically
positioned, such that the montage positions us to believe a certain theme presented by the documentary and this the documentary
presents its view much more persuasively to the viewer.
The Voice-over in a documentary is a commentary by the filmmaker, spoken while the camera is filming, or added to the
soundtrack during the production. Through this the filmmaker can speak directly to the viewer, offering information, explanations
and opinions.
The interview is a common documentary technique. It allows people being filmed to speak directly about events, prompted by
the questions asked by the filmmaker.
Archival, or stock footage, is material obtained from a film library or archive and inserted into a documentary to show historical
events or to add detail without the need for additional filming.
Visual coding-This links to the idea of mise-en-scene. E.g. interviewing a doctor wearing a white coat in a hospital will
make it seem more realistic and reliable.
