TYPES OF DOCUMENTARY
J A D E B R O A D B E N T
Within the genre of documentaries
there are also subgenres. There are
several subgenres within
documentaries; fully narrated, fly on
the wall, mixed documentary, self
reflexive, docu-drama, docu-soap and
disneyfication.
MIXED DOCUMENTARY
A mix documentary is the combination of interviews,
observation and narration. Within a mixed
documentary the narrator speaks as pictures or videos
continue over it. Mixed documentary's represent an
objective reality rather than a selective construction.

Example:
FULLY NARRATED
Fully narrated documentaries use a voice over to
help the audience gain understanding of what is
going on. Generally for a fully narrated
documentary the voice over goes along with the
visuals that the audience sees. Fully narrated
documentary's use ‘The voice of God’ effect to
make the what's going on sound like truth.

Example
:
FLY ON THE WALL
The fly on the wall effect means that the camera is
‘unseen’ or ignored and simply records real events
as they happen, There is often no narration leaving
the audience to reach their own conclusions.
However, it is the editing that can gives the final
meaning to a situation as you are actually only
seeing what the filmmaker wants you to see , so it
cannot be taken as complete truth as certain
aspects will be missed out that the creator doesn’t
want you to see.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vbQoBpIqfIExample:
DOCUSOAP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGWKqEqPfckExample
:
A docusoap is a type of documentary that follows the
lives of individuals. Usually with designated
occupations. Characteristics of docusoaps include:
• Emphasis on entertainment rather than instruction
• Based around personalities
DISNEYFICATION
Steven Barnett believes that there is a
pressure for glossing up documentaries so
that hard hitting subjects or topics are watered
down to lighten the issues for popularity and
ratings.
DOCUDRAMA
A re-enactment of events as though they
actually happened. However although docu-
drama's claim to relive the truth critics claim that
they can only ever hope to deliver fiction
because they cant really know what went on or
how people acted or felt.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN1P6FYoJ40Example:
SELF-REFLECTIVE
Within a self reflexive documentary the
documentary maker talks to the camera to try
to draw the attention of the audience. Self
reflective documentary's have been criticised
for them being about them and not the subject
or the content that they are supposed to be
talking about.
WHAT I LIKE AND WANT TO DO
I like the idea of a mixed documentary as I believe it has all the
vital parts that a documentary should have i.e. interviews,
observation and narration. I think the combination of these make
for a realistic and trustworthy documentary as we would be using
using real life and real people so with that said I think that this is
what I would like to use for my documentary. I also like the fly on
the wall type of documentary as it captures real life as it happens
and I also think personally that it has more of an entertaining
factor. It is also more relatable as you connect more with the
people involved. Self reflective also appeals to me as I believe
the more personal a documentary is the more realistic it is but
my only criticism is that making it as personal as it is may lead to
focus being taken away from the actual subject so for this reason
I wont be using this for my documentary.

  • 2. Within the genre of documentaries there are also subgenres. There are several subgenres within documentaries; fully narrated, fly on the wall, mixed documentary, self reflexive, docu-drama, docu-soap and disneyfication.

  • 9. SELF-REFLECTIVE Within a self reflexive documentary the documentary maker talks to the camera to try to draw the attention of the audience. Self reflective documentary's have been criticised for them being about them and not the subject or the content that they are supposed to be talking about.
  • 10. WHAT I LIKE AND WANT TO DO I like the idea of a mixed documentary as I believe it has all the vital parts that a documentary should have i.e. interviews, observation and narration. I think the combination of these make for a realistic and trustworthy documentary as we would be using using real life and real people so with that said I think that this is what I would like to use for my documentary. I also like the fly on the wall type of documentary as it captures real life as it happens and I also think personally that it has more of an entertaining factor. It is also more relatable as you connect more with the people involved. Self reflective also appeals to me as I believe the more personal a documentary is the more realistic it is but my only criticism is that making it as personal as it is may lead to focus being taken away from the actual subject so for this reason I wont be using this for my documentary.
