When making any sort of film it is important to look at the existing market, as I have already looked at "Life", "Bowling for Columbine" and "Toughing The Void" as examples of existing work, but this post is intended to look at the different styles of documentary making.
Styles:
Poetic: Organised images, associations and patterns. Example: Body Soul.
Participatory: a documentary which is higly influenced by the film maker who uses themselves to tell the story or get their views across. Example "Farenheit 9/11"
Observational: Looking at life with a minimum of influence from the auteur sometimes known as "Fly on the Wall". Example: "Airline"
Performative: a documentary that relies on the subject matter, actors and stle of shooting to create an emotional response. Example: "Bowling for Columbine"
