Questions

  1. Hampe says that "interviews do not a documentary make, because they don't show the topic, they show people talking about the topic". If so, why are they so prevalent on "classic" documentaries (tv, movies, etc)?

  1. Hampe brings up that the common mistake is that people often think that the camera does it all? But doesn't quality bring in more realistic experiences? or not?

  1. The author also mentions "docudramas" which are basically films in a misleading category. He says that they have nothing to do with true documentaries? What do you think? Marketing ploy or some truth?
