I have been looking at a range of photography documentaries these include the genius of photography, masters of photography:Diane arbus, Annie Lebovitz: life through the lens. these kinds of documentaries have been shown on television previously, and have also gone on to dvd for purchasing, as they have been made independantly so money is constantly trying to be made.
what is noticable is that theses documentaries are mainly fact based as they use historical evidences, events and information in a way that other documentaries are not, for example some documentaries can be just as a tabloid news paper, such as documentaries on events.
The following documentaries have examples of interviews in which the photgrapher speaks directly to the camera which is the main convention of a self refexive documentary.
This particular documentary has used a cuts of the different people that will be interviewed in the documentary, thus introducing the people to the audience right at the beginning, and we see some quite famous and credible people such as Hillary Clinton and other's like woopy goldberg. Although this lip is an ad for a documentary it does show what a the beginning of a documentary could be, i have decided to open ,y documentary by using a variety of people who are in some way involved with photography, whether it be on a via social networking site or a traditional role of film. My documentary's aim is to inform people about the analogue photography and whether or not it will become obsolete.
