POST 8: MODES OF DOCUMENTARIES

The purpose of this research is to get an idea of what mode of documentary to make. every documentary has one off these modes or more than one. From this research we have decided to choose participatory mode. From this research i have seen examples of each mode and i have learnt the conventions from each one. The different modes of documentary each have different meanings. For example i learnt that the reflexive mode creates meaning by engaging the viewer actively with the issue. In our documentary we will create meaning by doing this and also by using the participatary mode. We can also create meaning through the use of mis-en-scene. The target audience is going to be teens and adults age between 18 - 40 as this is the age range that uses the technology the most so our documentary would appeal to age group.
