Documentary Guide

style: interviews vs. footage
I watched a documentary on World War 2 named The WAR and I was focusing on two facts. One of them was the content of the movie, basically historical facts from the early 40s. The second one was the structure of the movie as a product. I mean the way they created it. I personally liked the was they did the interviewing, with a purely black background, which was in my opinion pretty original, and I like the ways the used the virtual maps to show the progress of the allies and the Nazis back in those days- I don't think we'll we able to create something like that though...
Unfortunately, the second documentary movie named World War 2 was pretty much the same, because it was diercted by the very same person. The only change I noticed was that in the first movie they focused on reasons why the war had started while in the second movie they analyzed the consequences of the WW2.
