Lumière Minutes - Le Cinéma: Cent Ans de Jeunesse
This document outlines an educational film program called Lumière minutes that teaches young people filmmaking techniques inspired by the early films of the Lumière brothers. The program involves students practicing techniques like long takes using a fixed camera position, watching a variety of film clips to study techniques, and reflecting on directors' choices. They are challenged to film unscripted minute-long scenes in the style of the Lumière brothers from a single camera position to gain experience operating within constraints and capturing a spontaneous moment on film. Resources for educators are provided.

Documentaries use facts to make socially critical arguments rather than just presenting facts. There are different types including fully narrated, observational, mixed with interviews and narration, self-reflective acknowledging the camera, and docudramas which recreate events. Features include observation footage, interviews, dramatization, carefully composed shots, and developing an exposition or argument. Gatekeeping involves selecting and rejecting information for the documentary. Narrative structures can be open or closed ended, single or multi-threaded, linear or non-linear, and sometimes circular returning

Genre analysis of documentaries.
This document discusses different types of documentaries and their characteristics. It begins by explaining that documentaries aim to document and observe real events and people, typically using unseen camera angles and interviews. It then defines six main types of documentaries: fully narrated documentaries that rely heavily on a voiceover narration; mixed documentaries that use both narration and interviews; fly on the wall documentaries that observe without commentary; docudramas that recreate real events; docusoaps that follow people with little crew involvement; and self-reflective documentaries where the subject directly addresses the camera.
Different types of documentaries
Fully narrated documentaries use a voice over narrator to provide context and make sense of the visuals in an authoritative manner. Fly-on-the-wall documentaries aim to film events as inconspicuously as possible from the perspective of an unseen observer. Mixed documentaries combine interviews, observations, and narration to both show events and back up an argument.
