At the bottom of the website, there is a list of theorists and general histories of documentaries:
This website explains the basics of a documentary. It notes that it is one of three basic creative modes in film, the other two being narrative fiction and experimental avant-garde.
The article teaches the reader that characteristics documentaries have in common that are distinct from other film types (especially from the fiction film) can be thought of in terms of: 1)subjects; 2) purposes, points of view, or approaches; 3) forms; 4) production methods and techniques: and 5) the sorts of' experiences they offer audiences.
As for subjects-what they're about-documentaries focus on something other than the general human condition involving individual human actions and relationships, the province of narrative fiction and drama. This is why I will be making my documentary on something which has an effect on all people's lives, whether they realise it or not. In order to entice an audience, it needs to be a topic which will appeal to a wide variety of people, and if it effects people's lives then they will be more interested in it.
