#hwa5 #letsgetstarted I think what makes a documentary real is when I see the ppl and thing etc listed on news articles. For example, “Diddy” became documentary. But even so when it has real recordings. But some do lack it

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted I think a documentary is a piece of art which attempts to build a narrative given the evidence available. I think my criteria are influenced by what i would trust as real. I think placing together the facts and building a narrative off of them is honest. to me honest=real.

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted A documentary is a creative film. One that attepmts to show something as truth or real. But more so as a perspective of the camera. Whatever the filmer/directory chooses to show and edit into their film.

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted I used to think documentary meant the camera was simply capturing what was already there, but I am starting to think “real life” only becomes meaningful once someone shapes it.

I think what makes a documentary real is the story, and that real people re-enact it. I always assume that because it is shot with humans, it makes it more real because the actors are real. Also, because something is based on an experience, it feels more real. #letsgetstarted #hwa5

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted I personally haven’t watch a lot of documentaries but from what I’ve seen and understood, they’re mostly raw material. Like even if there’s some sound effects, or story telling, there must be some raw unedited clips proving the edited version.

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted A documentary is when it discusses real-life events through non-fiction elements, so I expect it to have like either archived records, live interviews, or reenactments of events. My definition mainly stems from the amalgamation of all films I watched that labeled itself as a-

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted I think what makes something a documentary is stuff like statistics, and also real footage would help and make it more "real". Actors make it seem like it's not real but if "real" people came on the documentary and talked about it then that's more helpful I would say.

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted I feel like a documentary is real-life events that tells a story about someone or something. I trust it more when the footage may include interviews or real-life graphics as to what is ACTUALLY occurring.

What I mean by real time is like it is what I would see if I was at the scene in person. My assumptions come from a combination of animal documentaries I’ve seen online and other films. #hwa4 #letsgetstarted

I always thought of a documentary as something showing real events or real people and I usually trust it more if it has interviews, real footage or experts but I now realize I mostly trusted it just since it’s labeled a documentary not rly cuz I actually checked how real it is #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

A documentary is the discussion of a real topic or event. It brings new eyes or provide information that wasn’t known. what makes people trust it as being real is in its transparency. When you’re transparent you’re being honest and trustworthy with the audience. #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

(1/2) something that makes a documentary would simply be a record of an event that has happened. this could literally be anything if you really think about it. the narration is optional but usually there is a narration too. we usually trust other people to be real, #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

When I think about what makes it something a documentary The ideas come from the feeling that I would get as a child reading nonfiction textbooks. And it seems educational, I used to trust that it was real. #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

i answered this before the prompt even showed up, but i’ve always seen a documentary as something that’s pushing an ideology using facts. kind of like a debate. as long as you use facts it can be considered real. even if you left out counter arguments that have been proven. #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted A documentary is some type of media that provides factual reporting of an incident or situation. Usually these are composed with either primary sources or reenactments. There is just somthing about how documatnires are structured that make them factual... and sometimes boring

This is because I perceive corporations like that as more trustworthy and less biased, although I can be completely wrong. #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted I believe a documentary is a film that seeks to give an accurate interpretation of a real life event, like Netflix's documentary "When They See Us." Elements I'd consider "real" would be objective, quantitative facts, which then induce strong emotional portrayal--not random.

I usually think a documentary is something that shows real people and real events. I tend to trust it more when there’s real footage or interviews with people telling their own stories. Most of my ideas about documentaries probably come from the ones I’ve watched before.

I believe that a documentary is a true story where they interview people who were involved or have some sort of connection to the story and tell their point of view. I trust sources and proof as real because even though it's okay to assume something real you never really know. #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

(3/3) Cause like they're not really making shit up (intentionally). So it's real to them at least and I don't have reason to not believe them unless ig #hwa3 #letsgetstarted

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted my ideas just stem on this understanding that documentary is meant to be educational and rooted in truth, while also being an art form. Instinctively, I trust primary sources as real, as that is raw and untouched

#hwa5 #letsgetstarted I feel like what makes something a documentary is the fact that there is truth and it is telling a true story without extreme manipulation of said story. Things like music, lighting, and reenactments can enhance a scene and bias viewers, but it cannot distort the core too much

having unedited clips, including people who experience the situation, or providing concrete evidence. all of these include some truth to them, which allows me to believe in a documentary because most of the time, documentaries are just another film that includes some factual - #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

a real life experience, narrating a historical event, or something people went through, whether relatable or not, constitutes a documentary #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

similar to the reading when I see something that is labeled as a documentary I immediately assume a level of truth and trust that whats being said is in someway verified. I see so many crazy things online that the content of a doc could be believable no matter what is in it

I believe factual storytelling is what makes a documentary, not just selectively but objectively. My idea comes from every documentary I've watched being centered around facts. I trust stories by reputable filmmakers or stories that can be easily verified via google. #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

I think a documentary has to be based on something that happened. In that way it makes it "real" to someone. Whoever's memory told the story. I think a documentary must be edited and manipulated to convey a message. I mean it is a form of entertainment, right? #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

I thinking some form of video media that covers a real life story is a documentary. However, a doc must be told like a story, with a clear beginning middle and end. I watch a lot of YT docs covering various real life events and in my opinion a real story is one that engages us. #hwa5 #letsgetstarted

For me, a documentary film doesn't rely too much on filmmaking techniques like shooting, editing and mixing, location scouting, or composing or selecting appropriate background music. The core idea is that the raw material is always taken from records of "real" life.
