Documentary mode explination

Howard Smith

We have chosen to make our documentary in the

reflexive mode. We will be carrying out documentary

research on reflexive documentaries to find out how

they are so successful and also research reflexive

documentary producers to determine how they are

such a success. The reflexive mode suits our

documentary well as we intend to have interviewers in

front of the camera and also voiceovers too. Also the

reflexive mode allows us to spread our message

across to the viewers the best.

In addition we also plan to make our documentary

with an expository element too. We aim to educate

the audience and bring them the latest opinions

from people who have experienced university

themselves and also people who didn’t chose

university.

In summary, our documentary will be made in the

reflexive mode, seeing the interviewer on screen

as well as having voiceovers too. It also aim to

educate with the expository element in mind

aiming to educate and inform the audience by

using the most relevant and informative resources.
