Documentary 2

PLEASE & THANKS

The first video that I will be  reviewing is an observatory documentary. The documentary shows the view point from the older generation from saying please and thanks and also polite in general.  The documentary shows the older generations reaction how the younger generation has less politeness toward their parents and elders. The video does not show the documentary through the younger generations viewpoints so this can be biased in a way just by looking through the older generations eyes. The video has a range of different documentary genres like this video is also an expository, observatory and informatory.

King of Laughter

This documentary shows the life of a man who has laughed his life because he thinks it helps him survive and keep strong through hardship. He narrates to the audience that he had a lot troublesome times but he just strides the hardship with a smile on his face. The documentary is a expository documentary because the main person is being exposed of his life story. The documentary is also a observatory because we also have quick experience of his day in his life.

How this would influence my documentary project

These documentary's would influence my project is by using a range of different types of documentary genres like expository, observatory,

Shots -

different camera angles. close up shots of the person interviewed.

wide shot of the action from the interviewed person. different angle shot of the scenery. shot has both subjects in the shot. shot has slow motion camera shots.

research methods

here are many types of research such as

• primary research — original finding 
• Secondary research - summary, collation or a synthesis of someones existing work research
• qualitative research - the research that goes in to detail, the research is often used as a method of exploratory research as a basis for later qualitative research hypotheses.
• quantitative  research - research that depends on the amount of research in the detail on the document.

There are many other different methods of researching like manual research / primary research. Primary research is viewed as more time consuming and exhausting to do. The other method of research is internet based, when the finder surfs the internet to look for existing documents, this is known as secondary research.
