  5. Drama Documentary Further codes of this mode? • Non actors or actors pretending to be real. • Actors often not told what will happen next when filming the story in order to create a realistic ‘look’. • Style is observational but fake. • Fiction, but with a documentary ‘look’ or style.

  6. Famous examples • Peter Watkins is the most famous director here: ‘The War Game’ and ‘Culloden’ which he made in the 1960’s are excellent versions of this type of documentary. • ‘Cathy Come Home’ directed by Ken Loach is another.
