RESEARCH: Modes of Documentary- Observational

 "This documentary mode aims to observe the subject and portray the truth. These films avoid music, interviews and narration, instead relying on the image. This is a ‘fly on the wall’ documentary and tends to avoid dramatic editing techniques to influence the viewer. "


Example of this: Don't look back (1967)- D.D. Pennebaker


Reflection:

An observational documentary is not likely one that I will use. I may use it for short moments, possibly in montage form yet I do not think it is what I will use for the full documentary.
