Comparison between classic and experimental documentaries

Classic and experimental documentaries, the differences that show the development in television documentaries can be shown through the comparison of the two products. The experimental documentary being 'Cows' and the more classic documentary being 'A damn nice caff'. When looking at the work of the experimental documentary 'Cows' you can see that they don't tend to follow the rules of a documentary, its experimental, the use of different camera angles and filming techniques, like being surrounded by 'Cows' shows a new way of capturing the image they are trying to portray.
On the other hand, Classic documentaries tend to follow the rules of making a documentary, using standard equipment, camera angles and filming techniques. 'A damn nice caff' uses sound overlapping to create a busier enviroment and mid-shots and high-angle shots to make transitions during the film. It also focuses on keeping the real surrounding sounds that are heard in the cafe, keeping the realistic and traditional way of creating a documentary still visible. Whereas 'Cows' puts emphasis on the abstract view the documentary is trying to portray by using new techniques and over the top music, giving the small subject a broadened representation.
