0 Bill Nichols Theory (Billy Camden)
After much research into the the different modes of documentaries, i have come to the conclusion that the performative mode of Bill Nichols is the mode that best suites our documentary.
THE PERFORMATIVE MODE – filmmaker as participant
This mode of documentary emphasizes the subjective nature of the documentarian as well as
acknowledging the subjective reading of the audience - notions of objectivity are replaced by
"evocation and affect"
Codes /conventions
This mode emphasizes the emotional and social impact on the audience
Key Examples of the Performative Mode include:
Supersize me Morgan Spurlock 2004
Arguably, films by Michael Moore
