Poetic Documentary. Instead of using traditional linear continuity to create story structure, the poetic documentary filmmaker arrives at its point by arranging footage in an order to evoke audience feelings, through imagery, emotion, rhythm, or other association.

Expository documentaries speak directly to the viewer, often in the form of an authoritative commentary employing voiceover or titles, proposing a strong argument and point of view.

Reading, Animated Documentary by Annabelle Honess Roe:
I am researching into examples of animated documentary and application in media. Animated Documentary, the first book to be published on this topic, considers how animation is used as a representational strategy in nonfiction film and television and explores the ways animation expands the range and depth of what documentary can show us about the world.
What I have gathered from briefly reading this book, is about how the combination of animation and documentary cooperate despite the fact that they are different in forms of media. How animation is more a 'strategy' in documentation and a conventional alternative to portray a theme or message.
Conventionally used to describe scientific diagrams, charts and bring life to objects and events impossible to capture with the live-action camera, documentaries of space and microscopic scenes. 'How spiders fly' (1909) an example of scientific film to help arachnophobia.
