Research: Type of Documentary

Different types of documentaries-

Documentary Formats

• Expository Documentary-Voice over and unseen speaker explains what’s on the screen. 
• Observational Documentary -Spontaneously observing people’s lives. 
• Interactive Documentary -Following a sequence when being film, responds to questions asked in a interview. 
•  Reflexive Documentary -When the film maker acknowledges their presence in front of the camera.

From the overall types of documentaries I feel our short matches a Observational type due to the conventions of observing people's lives, for example the Farmer's life on the day to day farm, clearly addressed to the audience. I feel the documentary is a Interactive Documentary type also, due to the use of interviews and asking the Farmer questions to address to the audience about the farm, gaining more knowledge.
