The filmmaker must have the authority to do so. Show or describe experience according to a certain arrangement, logic, or order different from that of narrative organizations. From the beginning of film, it was meant to show life. Show something that is real (a slice of life) It is a conduct of its own product. Point the camera to the action to capture it. Articulation of attitudes and positions on the part of the film. Go out there and explore places that the audience knows little about. Early films took audiences places where they have never been. Try to convince the audience about certain facts. Foreground its own process of narration and production. Shows us things that the audience may not be familiar about. Inform the public about a social/cultural system. Turns the camera to a society that the audience may not know about. Documentary belongs to an institutional discourse or framework.
