Example of a documentary

Crossing the line Firstly outline basic information, and a general hypothesis.
Interview with people and saying what the question is to let the viewer understand where the answer has come from. The questioning is happening in the same place in which the issue had arisen, and names and titles of people are shown clearly. A person of higher authority is interviewed and his opinion of what is being done is given, his title is more recognisable as important and therefore his words are focused on in greater detail. More footage of the crossing is shown to show how easy it is to open the barrier and cross, and how it is similar in many other places as well. Although this documentary can be classed as performative as well, as certain aspects such as the film maker being visible to the viewer mean that elements of both modes are used. This could be because this is an amateur production or to create a sense of connection between the film maker and the interviewee, as it was about an issue that had already affected both of them.
