The Mass Comm class now has a working definition of "documentary" based on the seven group definitions generated.
A documentary is a non-fiction narrative on film or video designed to persuade, inform or entertain a target audience about a theme or subject. The narrative explores the subject matter through an examination of facts presented through documents, interviews and artifacts. Documentaries are sometimes balanced by exploring a wide range of viewpoints, but they are also subjective promoting the world view of the producers or participants. A documentary can confront, support or counter the perspective of the audience with documentation suited to communicate via the medium it is presented.
