Fully narrated- An off screen voice over is used to make sense of the visuals and dominate there meaning, Eg- Natural History documentaries, the narrator always seems authoritive and is known as being the 'Voice of God'
Mixed documentary- These use a combination of interview observation and narration to advance the argument
Fly on the wall- The camera is 'unseen' or 'ignored' and simply records real events as they happen. There is often no narration, leaving the audience to make there own conclusion known as 'Cinema verite'
Self reflective- When the subject of the documentary acknowledges the prescence of the camera and often speaks directly to the documentary maker.
Docusoap- These documentaries follow the lives of individuals, usually with designated occupations
Docudrama- A re-enactment of events as though they have actually happened
Docusoap but scripted- Eg-TOWIE, Made in Chelsea. Blurs the boundaries between fact and fiction
