Documentary Conventions with theory

With us looking a many documentaries we can understand how a documentary documents the truth. We understand we only have a couple of minutes to capture or audience thus making the beginning the most important part. With the help of Todorov's narrative theory, the opening 5 minutes of the documentary should reveal disequilibria at some point; whether its at the very start or a couples minutes in after equilibrium. I have watched so many documentary's and they all impose disequilibria at one point:


The BBC horizon are undoubtedly my favourite documentaries to watch. Majority of them pose some form of disequilibria that has the views enticed. The documentary above presents disequlibra in the first couple mins indirectly. The voice-over of suggest the documentary has the formula that can help us increase our creativity skills suggesting us ourselves are endanger of falling into disequlirbia if we don't continue to watch. Our documentary must contain an enticing beginning as these
