Testing Out Different Types of Documentary

Today Olivia Cope and I were doing our blogs and thought that a better way of showing our understanding of types of documentary than writing it out, would be to film examples. We tried to incorporate the type of styles of those documentarists that we have been studying. We used our friend Helen Revell to act out a mini-documentary which consisted of;

  1. Reflexive documentary
  2. Poetic documentary
  3. Observational documentary
  4. Nick Broomfield's style of having filming equipment in the camera shot
  5. Michael Moore's expository documentary style
It was fun to film and also gave us a little insight into what is it going to be like filming our main task.
