1. One mode of documentary is Expository documentary. To get a clearer view on the feature of this mode we have watched the World WAR II propganda documentary 'London Can Take It' created by Humphrey Jennings in order to get the Americans to support and Help the War effort. Creating a Expository Docum



2. Another mode of Documentary is Observational Documentary. The disctinctive features are the fact that there is no Voice- over and the subject is mainly portrayed through strong images. These images vary from different loaction shots as well as showing the people who are affected by the situation. The documentary we have watched in this Mode has been 'Listen To Britain' another World War II propaganda documentary also created by Humphrey Jennings.
