documentary mode developed by american documentary theorist bill nichols seeks to distinguish the diferent types of modes of documentay and their styles. six documentary styles have been noticed and identified. these are poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. the one i have chosen to talk about is reflexive.
reflexive mode is the mode that focuses on the quality of the documentary. the goal of this is to aid the audience in understanding the process of the film so that they can develop a critical attitude, one that judges the the way the documentary was made.
