Documentaries are seen as a non-fictional re-presentation of reality, using codes and conventions to portray it. Documentaries are usually shot on location, use actual persons rather than actors, and focus thematically on historical, scientific, social, or environmental subjects. Their principle purpose is to enlighten, inform, educate, persuade, and provide insight into the world in which we live.
Voice Over- the voice over will usually be authoritative in some way, encouraging the audience to think that they are either have some kind of specialist knowledge or 'right options' people should pay attention to.
Graphics- such as text are used as another way of conveying a message to the audience in a easier,quicker and effective way.
Sound- Non-diegtic sound is used within documentaries as a bridge between scenes and also to bring an effect to whats being shown within the documentary.
Visual coding- Mise- en- scene and props are important in setting the right tone and image of the documentary.
