About documentary mind maps

GoConqr Original

Using documentary mind maps

Mind maps on this page connect documentary ideas with examples and questions. Documentary Genres includes docudrama, while Documentary Modes and Realism considers expectations of non-fiction and reality. Other maps look at spectatorship, intertextuality and individual films.

For a way into representation, start with Documentary Modes and Realism. Follow its branches to see how the map relates documentary to reality. Then use Documentary Genres to look at a different way of grouping documentaries, including docudrama.

Move between formats

As you revise, follow the links between ideas in a map and try to explain them in your own words. Return to a branch if you want to check how its ideas connect. When you want a change from exploring a map, switch to the flashcards on the Documentary unit page.

Choose a map and follow a branch that interests you.
