Narrative and documentary film styles

Narrative films tell a story with characters, a plot, and a structured sequence of events, much like a traditional story or novel. They aim to entertain or evoke emotions through storytelling. Documentary films, on the other hand, focus on real-life subjects, events, or issues, using factual footage to inform, educate, or persuade viewers. They often include interviews, real scenes, and commentary without fictional storytelling. While narrative films create a fictional world, documentaries aim to present authentic reality, sometimes using storytelling techniques to engage audiences with true content.
