Documentaries

A documentary film is a nonfictional motion picture intended to document
some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction or maintaining a historical record, its used to inform people of a certain situation, person or place. Documentary filmmakers are often motivated to make their films because they feel a particular story or viewpoint is not being covered by mainstream media, such as certain places in the world (good or bad) or an endangered species of animal.

Documentaries can be funny, poignant, disturbing, ironic, absurd, inspirational, amusing, shocking or any combination. It is a genre of movie making that uses video & film scenes, photographs and/or sound of real people and real events which when edited together creates a particular story, viewpoint, message or experience. David Attenborough is a very famous naturalist and is know for his documentaries around the word focusing on the earths animal wonders and how there process of life is different to the norm, the most recent of Life Stories. Other documentaries are 'man on wire', 'Valentino: the last emperor', 'Don't look back', 'Man with a movie camera', 'Oscar Pistorius- the Truth'.
