Media narration research
This document discusses how documentaries present stories and narrate events. It notes that documentaries about schools or competitions will often focus on a new story or character each episode. When telling individual stories, documentaries commonly use techniques like voiceovers, interviews, and background information to introduce characters and events. They also interweave multiple stories to give context and familiarity. Crime documentaries may reconstruct events through reenactments when real footage is unavailable. Disaster documentaries similarly piece together phone calls, eyewitness accounts and archived footage to narrate large-scale events over multiple episodes or films.
Features and types of documentaries
Documentaries can use several features and take different forms. Key features include observation without interference, interviews to contrast with observations, and dramatization to portray inaccessible events. Common types are fully narrated documentaries using voiceovers, fly on the wall relying only on observation, and mixed styles using multiple features like interviews and narration. Docu-dramas combine reenactments with exposition but are limited by their fictional elements. Current affairs programs differ in their focus on daily news coverage within time constraints versus documentaries' in-depth investigations over longer periods.

Social media platforms have allowed documentaries to improve distribution and education reach. Documentaries can be used for journalism, advocacy, or personal expression.

A good documentary raises questions, uses impartial filmmaking, and constructs a particular vision of reality through techniques to inform, convince and persuade.

Different documentary styles include self-reflective, docusoaps, fly-on-the-wall, mixed, docudrama, and fully narrated formats.

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.

There are many types of documentaries that use different combinations of interviews, observations, narration, and reconstructions to represent reality. Producers act as gatekeepers in selecting what factual information to include. Documentaries employ various narrative structures, such as linear, non-linear, or multi-threaded approaches.

Documentary
A documentary is a film that documents or captures reality using real footage and evidence to reveal an unknown angle or perspective. Documentaries allow the public to share their views on important issues and events through interviews and footage of real people and places. They present an argument or case to help audiences learn something new, often about the past or unfamiliar present-day topics, using conventions like authoritative voiceovers, authenticated expert interviews, and on-screen text to provide context. Documentaries come in different styles like expository with narration, observational allowing footage to speak for itself, and reflexive acknowledging the filmmaking process.
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.

Conventions of documentaries
Documentaries aim to inform, entertain, and educate audiences while also arguing a point of view to persuade viewers and generate public interest. They follow certain conventions to achieve these goals. Documentaries have a beginning, middle, and end narrative structure. The beginning introduces a central question and generates interest. The middle examines the issue from different perspectives to add complexity. The end resolves complications to persuade the audience to agree with the filmmaker's viewpoint. Common documentary conventions used to achieve these aims include exposition, interviews, voiceovers, depictions of conflict, music, selective footage, archival media, inserts, depictions of actual events, and reconstructions.

Technical codes refer to the use of equipment like camera work, while symbolic codes involve elements like character emotions that cannot be seen. Conventions are generally accepted practices within a genre, such as using experts in news programs. Factual news programs employ conventions like newsreaders, field reporters, expert interviews, footage of events, and voiceovers to efficiently inform viewers.

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.
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.
Conventions of documentaries
Documentaries come in many forms and use various techniques and conventions to represent reality. They can be either for television or film. Television documentaries typically have shorter runtimes and may be divided into episodes, while film documentaries can be longer and divided into parts. Various styles include observational, investigative, personality and historical documentaries. Filmmaking techniques like reconstruction, archival footage, and voiceovers help documentaries effectively convey information to viewers.

Film Genres.pptx
Film genres involve classifying films into categories based on similar aspects such as narratives, characters, filming techniques, or other formal features. Genre theory is used by filmmakers to elicit expectations from audiences and help studios create films that attract attention and engagement. Understanding genre helps producers market films to the desired audience as people tend to watch similar genres that appeal to them. However, genre theory is not perfect and films may be difficult to categorize, especially as technology changes what constitutes different genres over time.
Documen
This document outlines 5 different documentary genres: Reflexive, Observational, Expository, Poetic, and Participatory. Reflexive documentaries feature the filmmaker's presence and narratives. Observational documentaries follow events without acknowledgment of filming. Expository documentaries use voiceovers and multiple media to analyze topics. Poetic documentaries focus on human interests through unrelated shots. Participatory documentaries actively engage subjects through interviews and different media.
