FILM GENRES
Survey of Film Genres
Documentary is a means of sharing our vision. Sharing how one perceives a particular moment in time and then re-presents that moment in time to others throught he medium of film. Through light, shadow, color and sound the filmaker crafts a stream of visual messages in which he hopes to convey the sights, sounds, feelings and emotions of a particular moment or event in time. When we expand the definition of documentary to move beyond the bounds of educational films and public service works, we find a wide arrange of experiences being shared.
