Types of documentaries
There are six main types of documentaries: expository, observational, participatory, poetic, reflexive, and performative. Expository documentaries speak directly to the viewer through voiceovers and titles to present a strong argument. Observational documentaries simply observe lived life with minimal intervention. Participatory documentaries emphasize interaction between filmmakers and subjects through interviews. Poetic documentaries organize images through associations and patterns to be fragmentary and impressionistic. Reflexive documentaries help audiences understand the construction process to develop a critical view. Performative documentaries acknowledge the emotional and subjective aspects to address audiences emotionally.
Types of documentaries
The document describes Bill Nichols' six types of documentaries: observational, poetic, expository, participatory, reflexive, and performative. It then provides details on observational, poetic, and expository documentaries. For their school documentary project, the author thinks an observational style allowing the audience to form their own opinions, combined with an expository narration presenting a logical argument, would work best. They don't think anyone is confident enough for a participatory or performative approach.
Nichols’ six modes of documentary
Bill Nichols identified six documentary modes: expository, poetic, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. The expository and observational modes are considered the most objective as the expository directly addresses the audience to provide the proper answer, while the observational captures events undisturbed. The reflexive mode is considered least objective as it draws attention to its construction and may not fully represent the truth.
Post 2 genre, theories and concepts (blogger)
John Grierson coined the term "documentary" in 1926 to describe films that document real people and events. Documentaries aim to present factual information to audiences and invite them to draw their own conclusions. There are various styles of documentaries including fully narrated, fly on the wall, mixed, self-reflexive, and docu-drama. Documentaries rely on narrative conventions like establishing conflict, a sense of movement, interviews, and a three-act structure with an intriguing beginning, compelling middle, and conclusive end to tell a story based on facts.
6 modes of documentaries
The document outlines Bill Nichols' 6 modes of documentary filmmaking: poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. It provides definitions and examples for each mode. The poetic mode uses selective information to create a biased viewpoint, while the expository mode features direct narration to make an argument. The observational mode takes an unobtrusive, passive approach. The participatory and reflexive modes intentionally construct scenarios to influence viewers, and the performative mode focuses on the filmmaker's personal experiences.
Documentary mode theory (bill nichols)
This document outlines six modes or genres of documentary filmmaking proposed by Bill Nichols: expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, performative, and poetic. It provides examples and descriptions of each mode. The expository mode uses voiceover narration to directly address the audience. The observational mode aims to objectively observe reality without influencing it. The participatory mode includes the filmmaker's visible participation. The reflexive mode acknowledges the construction of the documentary. The performative mode emphasizes the filmmaker's subjective participation. Finally, the poetic mode uses non-linear, artistic, and subjective techniques of expression over objectivity.
The Conventions of Documentary Film
A documentary film presents factual topics to inform viewers and create public interest. There are several conventions used in documentaries, including using authentic footage of real events and people rather than actors or scripts, archival footage from archives, and interviews that allow people to speak directly about events. Documentaries may also use narrative or ideational montages to convey ideas visually and position scenes in a certain way.
The 6 modes of documentary
Bill Nichols proposed that there are 6 documentary modes: expository, observational, participatory, performative, reflexive, and poetic. These modes distinguish different styles of documentary based on their conventions and traits. The expository mode aims to put forward an argument and convince the audience through on-screen evidence. The observational mode films natural events without intrusion or presenter participation. The participatory mode heavily features the filmmaker's involvement through interviews and provocations.

Research on Documentary Modes - Bill Nichols
This document discusses Bill Nichols' six documentary modes: poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. It provides examples for each mode and analyzes how elements of different documentaries could inspire the filmmaker's own documentary on social networks. While the filmmaker's style relates most to the expository mode using voiceover, they aim to present both positive and negative aspects of the topic to avoid being too authoritative. In conclusion, the filmmaker determines that reflexive mode is not the best fit but that interview-based elements could still influence their own documentary.
Features of documentaries
There are 5 key elements of documentaries according to John Carner: observation, which films subjects without their awareness; interviews, which contrast with observation sequences; dramatization, which portrays past events the filmmaker did not witness; mise-en-scene, referring to what is included in the frame such as lighting and props; and exposition, the line of argument or message the documentary aims to convey.
A2 Media - Documentary Mode - Research, Planning and Analysis
The document discusses Bill Nichols' six documentary modes: poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. It defines each mode and provides examples. The poetic mode uses subjective interpretation and avant-garde styles, while the expository mode features a direct commentary from an authoritative voice. The observational mode acts as a neutral, fly-on-the-wall perspective. The participatory and performative modes involve the filmmaker directly in the documentary events or story. The reflexive mode brings self-awareness to the documentary's construction of reality. The author concludes they will draw most from the expository mode for their own documentary.
Poetic mode
The poetic mode of documentary film uses a subjective interpretation of its subject to create a particular mood or tone. It does not follow a traditional narrative structure, instead allowing events and characters to remain undeveloped. The editing explores associations through temporal rhythms and spatial juxtapositions in a creative way. Continuity is not important, and unrelated shots can be put together linked by music or theme to enhance the intended mood.
Genre of my documentary
The document discusses different theories of documentary genres/modes:
1. Nichols' five modes - poetic, expository, participatory, observational, and reflexive. The poetic mode uses associations over continuity, while the expository uses voiceover to propose arguments.
2. De Bromhead adds three more modes - linear (classic storytelling), discursive (information-driven), and episodic (juxtaposed episodes building meaning).
3. The author wants their music documentary to blend the poetic and discursive modes for an emotive, factual film using past and present footage. They also cite performative and observational modes for a personal yet removed perspective.
What is a documentary
A documentary focuses on real people and events to allow audiences to form opinions. It documents something that has occurred through actual footage or reconstruction, sometimes using narration or interviews. There are five key elements - observation, interviews, dramatization, mise-en-scene, and exposition. There are also different types of documentaries, including fully narrated, fly on the wall, mixed, self-reflexive, and docudrama styles that utilize varying combinations of narration, interviews, and reconstructed scenes.
Intro to Film: Documentary
This document discusses various conventions and modes of documentary filmmaking. It begins by defining documentaries as films that exist within the same historical world as the viewer and depict real events, rather than being fully scripted recreations. It then outlines several common misconceptions about documentaries before reviewing the history of the genre. The bulk of the document categorizes six modes of documentary: poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. Each mode is defined by its relationship between filmmaker and subject as well as examples like Koyaanisqatsi and Salesman. The document stresses documentaries' ability to foster global and cultural awareness.
Documentary styles
The document outlines 6 documentary styles described by Bill Nichols: poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. It provides examples and brief descriptions of each style. The poetic style uses subjective interpretations and creative editing. The expository style aims to inform by presenting facts, interviews, and narration. The observational style allows viewers to form their own conclusions through fly-on-the-wall footage without interference. The participatory style emphasizes interaction between filmmaker and subjects. The reflexive style exposes the documentary's construction. And the performative style addresses the audience emotionally through a narrative.
Codes and conventions- performative documentary genre
This document discusses the performative documentary genre. It provides examples of codes and conventions used in documentaries of this genre, such as using a voiceover to share opinions and investigative techniques to gather evidence to support a viewpoint. The document also examines Nick Broomfield's documentary about the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls as a case study. Performative documentaries aim to change audience perspectives or highlight alternative angles on events.
Modes of documentary
Bill Nichols identified six modes of documentary: poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. Each mode has distinct characteristics. The poetic mode uses abstract expression and emotion with no clear beginning, middle, or end. The expository mode directs the audience through narration and voiceovers. The observational mode observes events as they occur with no commentary. The participatory mode involves the filmmaker interacting directly with subjects. The reflexive mode acknowledges the filmmaking process. And the performative mode addresses the audience directly and acknowledges different perspectives.
Codes and Conventions of Factual Programming
Expository documentaries present a strong point of view through voiceovers and titles in an authoritative manner meant to persuade viewers. Examples include nature documentaries and profiles that deliver an unproblematic interpretation. Observational documentaries aim to simply observe with minimal intervention using portable cameras and equipment, often applying a "fly-on-the-wall" technique. Interactive documentaries show how the filmmaker's presence affects the situations being filmed, with the relationship between filmmaker and subject becoming central. Reflexive documentaries draw attention to their own construction and representation of reality in order to question notions of documentary truth.
IB Film- Documentaries
A presentation based on the sub-genres of documentary to help IB Film students with their Independent Study.
Modes Of Documentary[1]
There are several types of documentary films that have evolved over time:
1. Expository documentaries use narration to directly address the audience and interpret what they see. This is one of the oldest forms.
2. Observational documentaries became possible in the 1960s as cameras got smaller and less intrusive, allowing filmmakers to record social interactions without interfering.
3. Participatory documentaries involve the filmmaker actively engaging with and asking questions of their subjects.
4. Reflexive documentaries from the 1980s demonstrate awareness of the process of interpreting documentaries and issues of realism.
5. Performative documentaries acknowledge the emotional and subjective aspects of documentaries.
Modes of Documentary
The document describes 6 types of documentaries: 1) Poetic documentaries use manipulation and association to provide insight rather than understanding. 2) Expository documentaries use an authoritative narrator to influence the audience's opinion. 3) Observational documentaries use minimal commentary and capture spontaneous, unplanned events. 4) Participatory documentaries involve active participation by filmmakers in the subjects' events. 5) Reflexive documentaries acknowledge their subjective perspective rather than claiming to represent absolute truth. 6) Performative documentaries are designed to provoke an emotive response from audiences.
Conventions of a documentary (A2 media studies)
A documentary aims to truthfully document reality using evidence from subjects like politics, history and religion. While the content aims to be authentic, recreations are sometimes needed due to the unpredictable nature of capturing real events as they happen. Documentaries use conventions like narration to anchor meaning and guide the audience. There are different styles of documentaries such as observational, interviews, dramatizations, and styles that mix genres. The intended audience and what can be shown helps determine the type of documentary and advertising used.
Expository Documentary
This is a presentation to explain and summarize one of six documentary type; Expository Documentary (Voice of God).
Documentary Conventions
The document describes different types of documentary formats including expository, observational, reflexive, participatory, and performative documentaries. It also discusses documentary realism, dramatization, narrativization, news reporting formats like studio newsreaders and field reporters, and techniques used in news reporting like linking to other studios, addressing viewers, interviewing, using experts and witnesses, report structure, and incorporating actual footage.
Styles of Documentary
The document outlines six styles or modes of documentary film as developed by theorist Bill Nichols: poetic, observational, reflexive, expository, participatory, and performative. Each style is defined by its particular traits, conventions used, and relationship to subject matter. For example, a poetic documentary emphasizes personal expression through techniques like music and camera work, while an observational documentary aims to be a neutral, fly-on-the-wall perspective.
Bill Nichols - 6 Types of Documentary
Bill Nichols outlines 6 modes of documentary filmmaking:
1) Expository mode uses voiceover narration and images to illustrate an argument.
2) Poetic mode focuses on emotional and artistic expression over continuity.
3) Observational mode attempts to observe the world without commentary or interference.
4) Participatory mode involves interviews between filmmaker and subjects.
5) Reflexive mode draws attention to the assumptions and limitations of documentary representation.
6) Performative mode emphasizes the filmmaker's personal experience to provide insight into society.
Research: Modes of Documentaries
There are several modes and types of documentaries. The most common is expository documentaries, which use verbal commentary and narration to propose a perspective or state facts. Poetic documentaries are more subjective and artistic, focusing on emotions over conventions. Observational documentaries attempt to simply observe events as they happen without commentary or effects. Participatory documentaries involve interviews between the filmmaker and subjects. Reflexive documentaries focus on the filmmaking process itself. Performative documentaries emphasize the filmmaker's personal experiences.

Post 5
Bill Nichols identified six modes of documentary filmmaking: expository, poetic, observational, participatory, performative, and reflexive. These modes are not mutually exclusive and films often incorporate elements of multiple modes. The group discussed which modes they found most interesting - observational, reflexive, participatory, and expository - and decided they wanted to focus their documentary primarily on the participatory mode with some observational elements. They noted that documentaries often incorporate conventions from multiple modes.
Post 8 - Six types of documentaries
Bill Nichols identified six types of documentaries: expository, poetic, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. The expository mode uses voiceover narration to directly address the viewer and make an argument. The poetic mode links images to create emotional associations rather than focusing on characters. The observational mode does not intervene and covertly observes settings. The participatory mode sees the filmmaker take a social role rather than just observing. The reflexive mode acknowledges the filmmaking process and the relationship between the filmmaker and viewer. The performative mode raises questions about public knowledge through an autobiographical approach.
Types of documentary
The document discusses six types of documentaries:
1. Expository documentaries make use of narration and commentary to directly address the audience and advance an argument. Images serve to illustrate the narrator's points.
2. Poetic documentaries emphasize emotional and aesthetic qualities through techniques like juxtaposition and impressionistic fragments rather than narrative.
3. Observational documentaries attempt to observe reality without interfering and typically have no narration or soundtrack.
4. Participatory documentaries involve interviews between the filmmaker and subjects, giving a sense of the filmmaker's experience.
5. Reflexive documentaries draw attention to the constructed nature of documentaries and force audiences to consider the filmmaking process
Types of documentaries (Bill Nichols)
This document outlines five modes of documentary filmmaking:
1) Expository mode uses a narrator and voiceovers to directly address the audience with opinions and perspectives while images relate to the narration.
2) Poetic mode explores emotional associations between images and music through lyrical editing rather than a traditional narrative.
3) Observational mode attempts to observe reality without interference using techniques like location shooting and hidden cameras.
4) Reflexive mode aims to challenge audience assumptions about the world and documentary form through self-referential techniques.
5) Performative mode stresses the filmmaker's personal experience to provide broader social insights through an emotional, investigative narrative.
Filmpresentation Style and Documentary
The document discusses the concepts of style and documentary films. It begins by defining style as how film techniques interact to create the formal system of a film and how style interacts with narrative and non-narrative forms. It then discusses how to analyze film style by identifying techniques used, tracing patterns of techniques, and proposing the functions of techniques and patterns. Finally, it discusses documentaries, noting the difference between staged and authentic documentaries and how some blend the two. It provides examples to illustrate various points.

The document outlines 6 different modes of documentary filmmaking: expository, observational, reflexive, participatory, poetic, and performative. The expository mode relies on voiceover narration and images to illustrate arguments. The observational mode attempts to observe reality without commentary or interference. The reflexive mode draws attention to assumptions about the issues and problems of representing reality. The participatory mode involves interviews between filmmaker and subjects. The poetic mode stresses lyrical and emotional aspects over conventions. The performative mode demonstrates how personal experience provides understanding of society through emotional complexity and tone.
Bill nichols
Bill Nichols is a Swedish film theorist known for pioneering work in documentary film. He developed the documentary mode conceptual scheme that identifies six styles or modes of documentary filmmaking: poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. Each mode has distinguishing traits and conventions regarding the relationship between the filmmaker and subject and how information and arguments are conveyed.
6modesofdocumentaries-130114062156-phpapp01.pdf
There are 6 modes of documentaries described by theorist Bill Nichols: poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. Each mode has different characteristics in terms of perspective, use of voiceover, level of involvement, and goal. For example, the poetic mode uses selective information to create a biased interpretation, while the observational mode passively documents events without interference. The document discusses examples like High School to illustrate each mode. It notes that modes are not mutually exclusive and documentary films often incorporate elements of multiple approaches.
Documentaries
Documentaries aim to document real people and events to allow audiences to form opinions. They use techniques like observation, interviews, dramatization, mise-en-scene, and exposition. Documentaries can be fully narrated, fly-on-the-wall, mixed format, self-reflexive, or docudramas. They typically follow a beginning, middle, end structure and focus on conflict to drive the narrative forward. Elements like music, lighting, and visuals are chosen carefully to shape the intended meaning.
6 modes of documentries for slide share
There are 6 modes of documentary filmmaking described in the document:
1. Expository mode uses a narrator and scripted commentary to accompany and illustrate visuals.
2. Observational mode aims to observe events without involvement or influence, capturing raw footage of natural, unstaged events.
3. Participatory mode involves the filmmaker engaging directly with subjects to investigate topics and explore questions, making them an integral part of the film.
6 modes of Documentary
Bill Nichols is a Swedish film critic and theorist known for founding the contemporary study of documentary film. He identified six modes of documentary: poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. The poetic mode uses cinematography and music to convey mood without direct commentary. The expository mode relies on voiceovers or subtitles to communicate an argument. The observational mode emphasizes unbiased observation of subjects' daily lives. The participatory mode involves greater filmmaker interaction and bias. The reflexive mode promotes truth by allowing viewers to draw their own conclusions from footage. The performative mode engages viewers with a story while also presenting factual information.
Documentary genres & modes research (1)
The document discusses six different modes or genres of documentary filmmaking: poetic, expository, participatory, observational, reflective, and performative. Each mode is defined by certain characteristics regarding narrative structure, use of voiceover, subjectivity, and relationship to the filmmaker. For example, expository documentaries establish a point of view and use voiceover to directly address the audience, while observational films aim for realism through long takes without narration. The document also provides an example of someone choosing to use the expository mode for their own documentary in order to explain a topic while showing related images and footage.
Different modes of documentary
The document discusses six modes of documentary film identified by Bill Nichols: expository, poetic, observational, participatory, performative, and reflexive. It provides examples for each mode. The expository mode uses a voiceover to directly address the viewer. Poetic documentaries are subjective and focus on imagery over narrative. Observational documentaries act as impartial spectators. Participatory documentaries involve the filmmaker interacting with subjects. Performative documentaries acknowledge their constructed nature. Reflexive documentaries emphasize subjectivity and emotional impact.
Types of documentaries
Documentaries focus on documenting real people, events, and social contexts to allow audiences to form opinions. John Grierson coined the term "documentary" in 1926 to describe films that document actual events or topics. There are five key elements of documentaries: observation, interviews, dramatization, mise-en-scene, and exposition. Different types of documentaries include fully narrated, fly on the wall, mixed, self-reflexive, docudrama, and docusoap styles.
Spectator theory
Filmmakers aim to elicit emotional responses from audiences. However, individuals may experience different emotions to the same film due to personal experiences and social/cultural backgrounds. While some shared responses are possible within social or ideological groups, each person brings private memories and desires to their viewing experience.

Observational documentaries aim to record events objectively without influencing them, but may lack context. Interactive documentaries feature the filmmaker's engagement and perspective. Reflexive documentaries draw attention to documentary conventions. Poetic documentaries emphasize visuals and mood over explicit arguments. Performative documentaries construct subjective truths significant to the filmmaker.

Intro to cinema six modes presentation (first three modes)
- 1. Bill Nichols’ Six Modes of Doecumentary { Brian Thompson, Laura Zalewski
- 2. Grouping the Voices of the Documentary Each documentary has its own voice There are six modes of representation that function like sub-genres of the documentary film genre itself Each mode arises through a growing sense if dissatisfaction among filmmakers with a previous mode The six modes are: Poetic Expository Participatory Observational Reflexive Performative
- 3. The Poetic Mode Stresses mood, tone, and effect more than displays of knowledge or acts or persuasion Began as a way of representing reality in terms of a series of fragments, subjective impressions, incoherent acts, and loose associations Draws on historical world for raw material, transforms the material in distinctive ways Moves away from the objective reality of a situation to grasp at an inner truth
- 4. Example of Poetic Mode Robert Flaherty’s Man of Aran http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc1SkNsYHig
- 5. The Expository Mode Addresses the viewer directly, through either a voice of God commentary (speaker heard but not seen) or through a voice of authority commentary (speaker is heard and seen) Voice of God commentary is useful because it has the capacity to judge actions in the historical world without being caught up in them The tone of the commentator strives to build up a sense of credibility through qualities such as distance, neutrality, disinterestedness, or omniscience Relies heavily on an informing logic carried by the spoken word Emphasizes objectivity and well supported argument
- 6. Expository Mode Continued Commentary serves to organize the images and make sense of them With spoken word as the emphasis of expository documentaries, images serve a supporting role, illustrating, illuminating, evoking, or acting in counterpoint to what is said Editing in this mode serves to maintain the continuity of the spoken argument. Known as evidentiary editing The ideal mode for conveying information or mobilizing support through a film
- 7. Example of Expository Documentary Nature Documentaries http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=DN3afhibuxU
- 8. Observational Mode Mode in which all forms of control that a filmmaker might exercise over staging, arrangement, or composition of a scene are sacrificed to observe the lived experience spontaneously Exemplified by the Direct Cinema Movement Attempted to accurately capture objective reality w/filmmaker as natural observer Nothing is staged, so camera has to rush to keep up with the action, can cause the footage to be rough or shaky Filmmaker is supposed to film the action as if he were a fly on the wall, do nothing but observe
- 9. Observational Mode Continued Films in this mode have no voice over commentary, supplementary music, sound effects, intertitles, historical reenactments, or interviews This mode raises some ethical questions like: Is the filmmaker intruding on the behavior of others? Does the filmmaker seek out others to represent because they possess qualities that may fascinate viewers for the wrong reasons? Example of Observational Documentary is Frederick Wiseman’s “Hospital” (1970). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_jZRlh5QTc
