naturally, and film their natural behaviour.

Reflective documentaries include the filmmaker on screen and involved
with what is going on within the documentary, they often provide a
narrative voiceover for the documentary as well. They often get involved
with what is going on and the people they are talking to so they can get
an in depth view into the way other people act and think. However
because the voiceover is done by the filmmaker it can often, without
meaning, give a bias influence about the subject matter. The audience will
listen to the filmmakers voice as the documentary is going on and can
make them often side with the same views as the filmmaker.

Louis Theroux is a well-known reflective documenter as he often gets
involved with activities for his documentaries or he hides information so
he can entice information out of people. For example in his documentary
Louis and the Nazis he doesnt reveal that he is a Jew so that he can
befriend them to ask questions. If he had revealed that he was a Jew from
the start he wouldnt have been able to get as much information or insight
into the Nazi lifestyle. The documentary follows the code and conventions
of a reflective documentary as it includes Louis as the narrator and voice
his opinions. He is also the presenter and provides factual information and
interviews.
