Because i like the idea of brief number 7, I have chosen to develop my understanding of the brief by researching different documentaries.
The main type of documentaries which i prefer are reality documentaries. However, there could also be other documentaries such as wildlife documentaries.
Below is an example of an introduction to a wildlife documentary produced by David Attenborough about wildlife. I have noticed this has many shots and clips of nature and landscapes with his voice as a voice over narrating the clips. The documentary also shows David Attenborough within the documentary.
There could also be a reality documentary filming people. Below is an example of a reality documentary filming peoples every day life. It has a woman doing a voiceover whilst filming the reality of peoples life. There is also a soundtrack.
However another form of a documentary could be telling a story but reconstructing the truth of the film. This could be having an actor to reconstruct what actually happened to somebody.
I used the website ' Wall of films'. This allowed me to view many different documentaries. I understand now that documentaries focus on a specific thing such as filming somebodys way of living.
This link is a documentary of the life of people working in a sweatshop in Cambodia. They interview many different sweatshop workers and use subtitles to translate the language to english.
