Documentary Project
We had our first seminar of the term and discussed our project brief for this semester - making a documentary in Liverpool. A documentary is film that is not fictional; it contains facts about the subject, there are five types and they are:
- poetic - these docs moved away from the conventional way of editing and were more arty, they broke boundaries in the way the subjects were presented and the people in it weren't as 'life-like'.
- expository - these speak directly to the viewer and have a strong point of view, they try to persuade the viewer with the content.
- observational - these simply present something that is going on in an ordinary persons life and observe it.
- participatory - this is when a presenter is involved and talks about the contents of the film.
- performative - these are strongly personal and stress emotional response from the audience.
