Stylistic Approach
Infotainment – the reporting of news and facts in an entertaining and humorous way rather than providing real information
Investigative Journalism – in-depth research, pursuing inquiries, dealing with documents, finding people, and writing about various topics like social issues, crime, corruption, and government investigations
Polemic approach – One sided view – presenting shots that support only this. The producers perspective shown clearly.
Exposition – occurs at the beginning and introduces the important themes of the film. It is important because it creates the viewer’s first impression and introduces the viewer to the content.
Mockumentary – often used to analyse or comment on current events and issues in a satirical way by using a fictional setting, or to parody the documentary form itself
