6 Types of Documentary :

1. Poetic documentaries were a sort of reaction against both the content and the rapidly crystallizing grammar of the early fiction film.
2. Expository documentaries speak directly to the viewer
3. Observational documentaries attempt to simply and spontaneously observe lived life with a minimum of intervention.
4. Participatory documentaries believe that it is impossible for the act of film making to not influence or alter the events being filmed.
5. Reflexive documentaries they draw attention to their own constructedness
6. Performative documentaries stress subjective experience and emotional response to the world.
