- The first film clips ever (in the late 1800's) were considered documentaries, showing small films of "a train entering a station, a boat docking, or factory workers leaving work" (Documentary - Wikipedia). They were called "actualities" at the time.
As Ms. Savido told me just, literally, moments ago, I'll have to focus more on the process of documentary film making more than the history and everything. So it is the, "how?" and not the "what?".
As posted about two or three posts ago, that web site on the process will probably be a great guideline later on down the road.
However, I'm going to continue to do a little more research on the "what?" of documentaries in order to achieve an understanding of what they want to accomplish.
