The document discusses reflexive documentaries, where the filmmaker acknowledges their presence in the film and provides narrative. Reflexive documentaries are common in experimental films where viewers are interested in the filmmaking process as well as the content. As an example, the skateboarding documentary "All This Mayhem" uses a reflexive style with the director also providing narration. The authors plan to use a reflexive style in their own documentary by discussing both the subject matter and filmmaking process.

2. What is a Reflexive Documentary
A reflexive documentary is basically when the
maker of the film acknowledges his presence in
the film and provides a narrative to the film.
You would mainly see this with experimental
documentaries, were the viewer is just as
interested in how the film was constructed as
they are with the actual content.

‘All this mayhem’ is a skateboarding
documentary that uses a reflexive style when
filming, In the trailer you will see the director
(who is also one of the skaters) providing a
narrative to the story.

4. How we will use it?
We are going to use a reflexive style in our
documentary, since we are doing sort of
the same thing in our own documentary. So
we will have to talk about how we made
the film as well talking about what we are
filming.
