Almost always observational, the cameras are left to record without interference.
Mixed
Mixed approach of interview observation and narrative and a range of arguments.
Most documentaries use this style and is what reporters use on the news.
This genre acknowledges the camera.
They usually speak directly at the film maker.
The documentary maker is talked to whilst being behind the camera.
Docudrama
They use reconstructions to show what happened.
Arguments and exposions are combined with a fictional narrative.
The story is based on fact.
At its best it is misleading at it's worst it's dangerous.
Docusoaps
It has been a phenomenon of recent years.
They can follow people in different jobs, positions in society.
There is a dispute about whether it should be classed as a documentary or not.
They are enormously popular and cheap to produce.
