5 documentary modes


Each documentary will go through different 'modes' - phases that are shot in a specific style. There might be an 'interview' mode when a talking head tells you their version of the story. Or an archive mode where they use old footage and have a voiceover on top.

Here is a quick guide to those different modes.

Create a powerpoint that illustrates each mode with a clip that you've found, and bullet pointing the main conventions of that mode.
