Documentaries have been in existent in filming industry though during all this time, very few people took note of them. This is because the other movies and films made up of acting and fiction had been the dominant ones. Lately this trend has rapidly changed and there is increased number of viewers of these films. In definition, these are films cast on a real life situation such as war, technology, lives of people, animals and science.
A notable aspect concerning these videos is that they have no single aspect of fiction. They are all about real life events. If it is about war, the actual fighting using all forms of guns, war planes and machinery can be viewed on the screen. Even how people die while others are butchered, all this make the components of these films.
Six types of documentaries are in existent as of today. The first one is poetic documentary. This is among the first to be aired. The basis of this is grammar and has a lyrical flow arising from the rhyming words at the end of each sentence. With this type, appearance of people was basically as entities; in other words, they were used as material possession of the world.
With the use of authority to the viewers, expository documentary comes into play. This authoritative approach tends to be directed to viewers in form of conversations concerning certain aspects of argument. The use of rhetorical questions is rampant in a way that it persuades the viewers. There is use of male deep resounding voice within the commentaries at some points within the film.
Observational documentary is centered on observing certain aspects in existence and coming up with a story line on such basis. It inhibits minimum or no form of intervention at all on the life aspect of whatever is being filmed. With this in play, the other basis which comes into play is that of creating a revelation concerning personal human character in normal life.
Imitation can be essential in this industry since it leads to production of participatory documentary. The imitation under this guide is associated with that of an anthropologist. There is appearance of the filmmakers on regular basis at certain points within the story line both in image and commentary. As their appearance keeps coming through varied positions, so does the subject line of the entire film. It creates twists and turns.
The ones seeking attention is that of reflexive documentary. It attracts attention to itself as a basis of molding as per the representations it is making at that particular time. A lot of skepticism is evident in this type for bearing the self regard with comparison to the other types within the industry.
The concluding type as far as documentaries are concerned is the per-formative documentary. This one entails emotions with regards to response of what the rest of the world perceives. Here, viewers are given a chance wherever they are viewing from to put themselves in certain positions and experience how it feels like being in that particular spot.
