documentary mini task


introduction
a documentary is a film about a topic on something that show it for education and also how the director want to show it. I would using pictures or interviews with people involved in real events to provide a factual report on a particular subject.


expository documentaries
Expository documentaries speak directly to the viewer, often in the form of an authoritative commentary employing voiceover or titles, proposing a strong argument and point of view. These films are rhetorical, and try to persuade the viewer. (They may use a rich and sonorous male voice.)
Siria's fortress is an expository documentaries that tells the view about the fortress and why the wall are still there. also it go's  on about he history behind it and when it was built and also the important of the fortress
observational documentaries 
Emphasizing the documentary filmmaker's engagement in observing the subject's daily life and circumstances and documenting them with an unobtrusive camera. By maintaining the observational mode, the director allowed the subject to forget the presence of the camera and behave more naturally, thereby letting the audience get a better sense of how the person feels
One Day On State is an observational documentaries about what happen in one day in a state as it go's through the day and how people have fin and walk about on the street in every day life
interactive documentaries are definition by draw the filmed people and events in to direct contact with the film maker and the content of the interactive documentary is based primarily on interviews, which draw out specific comments and responses from those who are filmed 
 for Louis Theroux The Most Hated Family in America. This is a interactive documentary about  a family who is against America and hate everyone who don't see there way. 

reflexive documentaries
 Conventions Examples of reflexive documentaries History Reflexive documentaries show the viewer how the documentary is constructed(in terms of editing and portrayal of the truth) and the film maker is a part of the documentary and provides the narrative to the documentary

Lenny D is  an reflexive documentaries about a woman who talk about her art and her passion toward her work and it inspired her to do art.

performative documentaries
 performative documentary is when the film maker gets involved in the documentary being the main subject and also evidently tells the audience the truths on the subject in hand. Deeply personal, the performative mode is particularly well-suited to telling the stories of filmmakers from marginalized social groups, offering the chance to air unique perspectives without having to argue the validity of their experiences.

Mass Communication is a performative documentaries about how communication is in the modern world and how it work in a 3rd world country like Indiana. also how in Indiana how people talk to each other and there life works through communication.  


conclusion

my philosophy as a film maker is that documentaries should show accurate and factual information about the subject and show the truth behind the story. but it is also important to show  to show the film makers point and to his side of the story and his opinions on the matter.
