6 Types of Documentaries

​Observational Documentary- "Observe" things as they naturally happen. 
- Avoids staging shots
- Lacks commentary or supporting interviews
- Filmmaker and audience just watch as story unfolds.

Reflexive Documentary- Attempts to be "reflective" of story that is being portrayed.
- Filmmaker asks audience to come along for the ride.
- See the story through the "lens" constructed or provided by the filmmaker.
- Liberties are taken with story and fact to "create" the story.
- Some shots may be "constructed" for the purposes of advancing the filmmakers story.

Expository Documentary- Directly addresses Issues in the historical world.
- Addresses the viewer directly, with titles or voices that propose a perspective, advance an argument, or recounts history. 
- Uses either a "voice of god" commentary (speaker is heard but never seen) or a "voice of authority" commentary (speaker is heard and also seen)
- Images serve a supporting role to the story being told by the commentator.
- The "voice" organizes and creates stream for which the pictures will flow.

Poetic Documentary- Sacrifices conventions of continuity editing, replaces with rhythms and spatial juxtapositions.  
- Filmmaker select and arrange into associations and patterns of their choosing.
- Creates an angle for a particular argument or point of view.
- Reality is portrayed in a series of fragments, subjective impressions, incoherent acts, and loose associations.

​

Participatory Documentary- Filmmaker goes into the field, lives among others and speaks about or represents what they experience.
- Filmmaker steps out from behind camera, down off of the observational perch and becomes a part of the action.
- Success hinges on the nature and quality of the encounter between the filmmaker and the subject or situation.
- Stresses the actual, encounter between filmmaker and subject.

Performative Documentary- Primarily address the audience both emotionally and expressively.
- Filmmakers response serves to excite and animate their audience.
- Filmmakers seek to have viewers experience the situation in which they are engaged to change their positions.
- Mixes the expressive techniques that give texture and density to film (point of view shots, musical scores, renderings of subjects state of mind, flashbacks, freeze frames, etc.)
