Hi blog! welcome to this weeks blog posting for my portfolio project! last week i discussed possible ideas, plans and inspirations for what I want to create. Today I be analyzing and discussing what genre I choose and the research behind it. The remainder of the posts this week will be dedicated to researching different documentaries that are within the same genre.
Since this is the first time I'm doing a documentary, independently I needed to conduct research on specific genres that could work for a documentary. Some of the options I researched are Expository, Observational, Participatory, Reflexive mode, Poetic Mode and Performative Mode documentary (Grand Canyon University, 2024, paras. 1-6). The actual documentary category would fall under Social and Cultural.
Additionally, the genre I decided to choose is a blend of Expository and Observational approach. The reason why I choose to unify these two selections is mainly to create a complex balance between educational, and factual information, while adding room for direct and personal interpretation from the audience. For example, Expository highlights dense research and the main purpose of this is to educate and to clarify (Grand Canyon University, 2024, para. 1). While an observational documentary illustrates interpretation and visuals (Grand Canyon University, 2024, para. 2).
Furthermore, I want to explore deeper into social and cultural aspects of film. This is because I enjoy how social and cultural films highlights different features of a culture. It shows how different communities can be represented within society using various conventions (Seminole Cinema, n.d.). Cultural films can also include aspects such as religious beliefs, social issues and Language (Seminole Cinema, n.d.).
