Documentary techniques. SS, AL

There are a few techniques we have seen in different documentaries that we are thinking of using. These are:
- Reconstruction of events. We could use this for events such as making enclosures -  things that happened while we were not filming.
- Use of a blank screen at the start of the documentary, with white text saying who the main character is, and hat his occupation is. It could also say how long we filmed for, and for what purpose.
- Cut and fades could also be used to how the passage of time. For example, when hours pass, working, instead of filming it all, we could just use parts of the day, and edit them together with the shots fading in/out together.
