Representation
Like photography, documentaries are a representational medium: They record and
occasionally reconstruct the everyday reality viewers typically cannot experience
themselves. Because photography is an indexical sign signifying truth, audiences
understand the documentary, a moving photograph, to signify truth also.
Furthermore, a representation is not the same object as the reality it represents. When
screening a documentary, the audience is not watching reality, but a recorded
representation of what it once was

divided in two halves: filming and
the narrative. The latter
complements the former and is
composed of interviews or a “voice of
God”narration.

vocaling the situation.
