The Reflexive Mode!<br />
Documentary Film<br />
! Unlike the previous four modes, the reflexive mode positions the<br />
spectator as the focus <strong>of</strong> attention.!<br />
! These films set out to readjust the assumptions and expectations <strong>of</strong> its<br />

sever our engagement with the film so that we are forced to think<br />
about filmmaking as a construct. !<br />
