Instead of using scripts and actors they unfold real stories in real settings, with real people. documentaries ofen use voice over, this helps the fim maker to speak directly to the audience aswell as provide additional information/statistics as well as delivering their opionion.they also tend to use interviews, often proffessional experts who are able to balance the arguement and show that opinions are shared between people and also to provide evidence. archive footage is also regularly used in documentaries, it shows historical significance and and change over time.In a documentary,an exposition occurs at the beginning and introduces the important themes of the film. It is important because it creates the viewer's first impression and introduces the viewer to the content.
