This website suggests that there are 4 types of documentary style, which are:
Expository- traditional style with narration, usually documentaries based on nature or history.
Observational- people involved seem as though they are unaware of being filmed. 'Fly-on-the-wall' type.
Interactive- questions from the interviewer may be edited out, so audiences can make their own opinions, usually on whether the information is trustworthy or untrustworthy.
Reflective- The filmmakers are interested in the process of making a film, showing the construction of the film.
Channel 4 documentary styles are quite interesting, with narration leading the sequence of scenes and storylines, and location shots help illustrate the narration. This is particularly evident in the documentary 18 kids and counting . Another example is Educating Essex .
