Question 2

Based on the week 4 reading on Fiction and Notification: The Great Divide by Samuel Johnson, the two points that stood out for me were.

(1) Firstly. he mentions that one of the most interesting things in studying the documentary field is the complex relationship between fiction, nonfiction and documentary as categories, and how they overlap.

(2) Secondly, is that central to an understanding of ‘documentary’ is the spectatorial activity of actually interpreting the material, something that Dai Vaughran and Noel Carroll has discussed.
