RESEARCH: Modes of documentary- Poetic

"Poetic documentary is a subgenre of documentary filmmaking that uses avant-garde techniques to evoke a certain mood or feeling rather than prove a point through a traditional linear narrative structure."

Avant-garde techniques: new and experimental ideas or methods.

An example of this documentary: Samsara (2011)- Rob Fricke

Reflection:

It was useful to focus upon an individual mode of documentary as it gave me more understanding. It was also useful to find a documentary to relate this to.
