Documentary Style

Excellent

Documentary mode and style is clear (poetic, expository, participatory, observational, reflective). Mockumentary is specifically designed to look like a real documentary, featuring interviews, “hidden camera” scenes, and hand-held camera footage. Feels as though it is not completely scripted, and the actors are allowed to improvise and add their own elements of comedy
