over the documentary to help the
audience gain a better understanding of
what is going on. Fully narrated
documentaries often us direct address

visuals that the audience is seeing;

the visuals. Fully narrated documentaries
use the voice of 'God' and so people take
what they hear as the truth.
7. FLY ON THE WALL

verite which captures what seems like a
natural setting to the audience A fly on the
wall documentary is mainly observational and
there is little commentary or narration. This
type of documentary is filmed as and when it
happens and is not staged. However, it is the
editing that can give a final meaning to a
situation as you are actually only seeing what
the creator of the documentary wants you to
see and so it cannot be taken as complete
truth as certain aspects will be missed out
which may be important.

combination of interviews,
observation and narration to
help to advance the argument

forward. Within a mixed

is speaking pictures continue

documentaries it that it is
representing an objective
reality and not just a selective
construction.

documentary the
documentary maker talks to
the camera to try to draw
the attention of the
audience. Most of the input
is from the narrator and the
presenter is viewable in the
action. The subjects are
acknowledged.

possible by the actors and
crew.

crew and are cheap to make.
