Documentary modes

Writer's picture: Mahin KaraniMahin Karani

Poetic documentary - the documentary focuses on the experience that a person has.

Expository documentary - the documentary is trying to inform the audience. usually narrated by someone

Observational documentary - the documentary observes the movement and actions of a subject like a person

Participatory documentary - the filmmaker is participating in the documentary

Reflexive documentary - similar to a participatory documentary but the filmmaker is the main focus of the documentary


For my documentary I will be doing a mix of reflexive and expository. It will be expository as I will be explaining information about world health day to my audience. It will be reflexive because i will be cooking in the documentary showing the step to keeping food safe.
