Reflexive documentary:
Poetic documentary:
The documentary is usually associated with experimental documentaries. The audience are interested in how the film is constructed alongside the content. Furthermore, the film maker is usually In front of the camera and there is a narrative. Example: Louis Theroux and the documentary 'Driving me crazy'
Instead of using traditional linear to create the documentary the filmmaker arranges the footage in an order to evoke an audience association through tone and rhythm. Example: Ron Fricke's 'Samsara'
Direct cinema and cinema verite movements influenced observational documentaries. This means that the camera films the subject uninterrupted. Example: Mayles Brothers 'Salesman'
Observational documentary:
Different types of documentaries: This type of documentary emphasizes the truth and favours a personal take over the objective lens. Example: Marlon Riggs 'Tongues'

This type of documentary came about the same time as Direct Cinema. The documentary maker would invite the subjects to participate with them. Usually in interviews and first-person storytelling accounts. Example: 'The thin blue line'
