How is meaning created in experimental documentaries?

An experimental documentary is a non-standard form of film. The use of unusual and new forms of filming help to create a modern piece. An experimental documentary explores the abstract sides of portraying certain things; The use of hidden meaning behind the documentary helps to create a meaning and understanding for the audience who are watching it. many documentaries try to add an experimental side even if the genre is not experimental. This could be by either using new technologies or going further into the documentary by adding a new interesting subject or new edits, filming techniques and locations. Its all about creating a timeline of situations where they link together and help to create a story or persona where the shots link in with each other.
