Documentary style refers to a filmmaking approach that aims to present factual information about real events, people, or issues. This style often utilizes interviews, archival footage, and observational techniques to create a narrative that informs and engages the audience. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, from nature and history to social issues and personal stories. The goal of documentary style is to provide an authentic representation of the subject matter, allowing viewers to gain insights and perspectives they may not encounter in fictional films. Notable examples of this style include works by Ken Burns and Werner Herzog, who have made significant contributions to the genre.
