This document discusses the purpose and types of documentaries. It begins by explaining that documentaries aim to document facts using footage, interviews, reconstructions, and observations. A documentary relies on eyewitness accounts and uses narration to guide the audience. There are many documentary styles including fully narrated, fly on the wall, mixed, self-reflexive, docu-drama, and docu-soap. The document also discusses influential documentary theorists John Corner and John Grierson, including their definitions and contributions to the genre.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. The purpose of a documentary is to document and report with evidence, it has to be
based on fact. You can document using :
- Footage

voice to anchor the audience. There are multiple documentaries on a variety of
subjects they resemble a film but it has to be factual.

3. Documentaries are not popular with TV companies as they are
problematic. British documentaries are known to be hard hitting and
journalist as they look to report the truth.
Documentaries can use sensational image to entice audiences.
Tensions are arising as some people feel differently on how creative a
documentary should be affecting the authenticity. Film makers suggest
that all film is faked as it is impossible to capture raw footage.
Despite differences both film and documentary makers agree
documentaries should include:
- Observation
- Actual Footage
- Recorded images
Current affairs are half way between a documentary and the news,
current affairs are usually around 30 minutes long and explore weighter
issues e.g. dispatches.

7. JOHN CORNER
“ What distinguishes documentaries is the portrayal of recorded sound and images of
documentary”
John Corner said that there are five central elements, these are:
Observation
Most documentaries use observations, the subjects ignore the camera meaning the
camera meaning thee camera acts as a witness. However, participants may become
objects instead of subjects
Interviews
TV documentaries rely on interviews. Interviews can be intercut with other elements
or can be uncut meaning the camera continuously films subjects
Dramatization
All documentaries use dramatization. Programme makers explore both sides of the
argument to create drama. Some documentaries use dramatization to make the
audience sympathise with a person or event.
8. Mise – en – scene
Carefully compares the setting e.g. where someone is positioned or
what they are wearing and also what the audience can and cannot
see.
Exposition
This is the line of argument meaning what is the point/argument of
the documentary. It is made up of description and voice overs. The
exposition can be either; plain, direct, indirect or hidden. If a
documentary has no line of argument there is no point to the
documentary.
9. JOHN CORNER
Exposition is the line of argument in a documentary made up of description
and voice over.
John Corner said there are 4 types of expositions used in documentaries:
Plain
Direct
Indirect
Hidden
One of these expositions are always present, if there is no line of argument
then there is no point to the documentary, some documentaries have
stronger expositions than others
Technologies only record traces of physical reality.
