INTRODUCTION
Sub-genre springs an endless list of variations and styles unique to each and
every film. It’s up to the documentary filmmakers to craft their narrative (or non-
narrative) for their desired audience. There are various types of documentary
films like Poetic Documentaries, Observational Documentaries, Expository
Documentaries, Participatory Documentaries, Reflexive Documentaries, and
Performative Documentaries. (Aldrege, 2016)
Several communication students don’t have the enough knowledge about the
veracity of videography. This research wants to improve the respondents’
knowledge more about Philippine documentary shows that’s why this study
wants to point out the significance of videography, culturally.

Television Documentary
We all know that television is a very popular medium with wide array of
genres; television serves viewers a variant of entertainment and information.
With choices provided by watching different programs, viewers nowadays may
select or choose what TV programs they easily relate to. Television always
leaves a mark and influence people by just watching certain shows or television
programs.

in order to understand history documentaries as a part of history culture means
taking into consideration the particular history culture in question, the
documentary tradition of a country, and, first of all, the production context of a
documentary.
Studies in documentary film are the first refereed scholarly journal devoted
to the history, theory, criticism and practice of documentary film. In recent years
we have witnessed an increased visibility for documentary film though

Documentary films portray events and situations that involve real people.
These people share their real life stories and experiences in order to convey
plausible proposals or perspectives on the situations, lives and events that have
been portrayed. The distinct perception of the filmmakers shapes these stories in
a way of directly seeing the historical world and not on a fictional allegory.
The surveillance camera indicates that recording reality is too vague and
criterion, and not just because reality sooner or later becomes a very difficult
concept to narrow down just think about reality-TV programs in which almost
everything is a construction. This is among other things revealed through the
camerawork, i.e. all the intentional changes such as camera moves, cuts,
composition, all sorts of adjustments that come from human intervention, and
through the post-production process of organizing various sound tracks and
11

visual tracks into a whole that was not there before. Time may be condensed and
the chronology changed, music, subtitles, or voice-over added, shots may be
interlaced or interrupted by wipes, etc. As a rule of thumb, a film is hardly a film
without camera work, cuts or editing, and it is neither a fiction film nor a
documentary if it is nothing more than a re-presentation of what happened to be
in front of a lens and a microphone.
Just the facts, but trying to make a correspondence with actual facts and
objective and neutral reproduction the core characteristics of documentary is
naive in the sense that it has the same weaknesses as philosophical positivism.
To believe that reality is made up first by objective facts and secondly by
subjective or personal sentiment is to make you blind and deaf to the prevailing
power structures and ideologies of this world. Let us stick to the facts and not be
subjective and emotional that is the anxious mantra of those not wanting or
daring to work for any change or a proper overview and perspective on things.
This however does not mean that it is all right to disregard facts or to tell
a lie in a non-fiction film. But it must be noted that the truth of a film can be
understood in other ways. A lot of facts or statements about facts that can be
verified may be present even in a fiction film. The whole story may be pure
fantasy, the characters fictitious and the behavior of the actors may consist of

incredible stunts but still the film may be striving for truth in another sense of the
word, true emotions and perhaps even to illustrate some more general truths
about human life. (Juel, 2010)

This study tells that a documentary is a genre of film that portrays real
events using depictions that connote the objectivity and facticity implied by the
processes of photorealism. Many contemporary documentary theorists and critics
observe a constitutive problem in this ethos: despite the apparent constructions
and agendas of documentary filmmaking, the framing and assumption of
documentary as a window on the world tend to naturalize its own constructions
as real. Critics who engage documentary trace the multitude of ways this
problem plays out in particular films. These projects yield many important
insights, but they most often approach documentary as a form of inherently
deficient representation fraught with ethical questions created by the frame and
ethos of objectivity it fails to achieve.

This study reveals the often extremely subtle ways that documentaries
wield the influence of truth and also offers filmmakers an understanding of how
evidence might be deployed more deliberately to present a social world that is
open for transformation. The researchers understand that the dramatism of
documentary helps to characterize what they call a "rhetoric of evidence" that
may be particular to documentary expression.

This research supports our study to shows the attraction and attention of
every documentary show because of its bizarre. There is an attraction in seeing
ourselves which sustains our belief over and above any knowledge of the falsity
of our sights to put it in its properly confusing way, seeing is more real than
knowing. What arises here as well is, it suggest, the desire for the evidence of
our own eyes. In the following, researchers want to explore some aspects of this
desire for seeing and consider its role for contemporary documentary and reality

Documentary film is one of the most important mediums for change available.
The makers of television are too concerned with profit to be able to do anything
of that nature and Hollywood films are all about the money over the art.
Documentary films can be made cheaply so there’s less concern about turning a
huge profit, thus the ability to address important issues.

Documentaries can educate and inspire people into taking certain steps
which would not have been possible otherwise. Lives are changed when people
watch brave deeds or selfless serving of humanity and then decide to emulate
the examples shown in the documentary. Many people get a new direction in life
when they are positively influenced by these films. (Dunlop, 2015)

the society benefits from watching documentary shows. It helps them to be more
aware with our surroundings.
According to Marjolin (2016), “no two persons ever read the same book.”
It’s about what is more beneficial for you. It’s better to learn something by
watching documentary, because people learn differently and most of them were
visual or auditory learner. It is easier to watch a documentary and simply learn
from it.
Character Engagement
One of the main sources of emotion in the spectator, they argue that in a
nonfiction context, it is the filmmaker, who first engages with her subject, with
whom she maintains long-standing everyday relations. Thus, their paper aims to
explore how the filmmaker engages with real people in the process of filmmaking
and how it is reflected on the screen. To this end, they consider the notion of the
‘structure of sympathy’ posited by Murray Smith in his book Engaging
Characters (1995, reprinted in 2004), which encompasses three concepts:
recognition, alignment and allegiance. They also take into account Smith’s
updating of this structure in ‘Engaging Characters: Further Reflections’ (2010). In
particular, they attempt to apply Smith’s theoretical paradigm to a case study of a
contemporary documentary: the film En construcción (Work in Progress, 2001),
directed by Spanish director José Luis Guerin. (Canet & Perez, 2015)

There are eight elements that can help journalists to be better video
storytellers. By these elements you can determine a story’s video potential, plan a
video story from overall structure to specific shot selections and evaluate the
effectiveness of the video stories or the documentary shows airing in GMA 7. These
elements are;
Visual appeal. Naturally, video stories need visual appeal. And, let's face
it: Some places, people and things are inherently more visually interesting. So,
focusing on these high-impact elements makes good sense.
Action & movement. Processes, sequences and motions are made for
video. Whether it's someone using, operating, creating or destroying something,
video can reveal exactly what the process looks like and precisely how it works.
27

and feeling. Ambient, or location, sound creates a sense of place. Natural sound

video technology has practically given anyone with a story to tell the opportunity

This literature relates with our study because one of the goals of our
research is to know impact of every documentary shows in our society. Having a
survey on how each documentary show contributes to social change is a big help
especially in the industry of media production and those who produces different
kinds of documentary shows. This is for them to produce more films that tackle
about the social issue in our society, in return, these films will help promote and
gives awareness to the people on what is happening around us.

According to Jones (2011), movie people are forever telling the rest of us
that movies can change the world – but they would say that, wouldn't they? It
justifies the outrageous salaries, the decadent lifestyles and the grandiose
awards acceptance speeches. Yet for every agenda-changing film of the kind the
award recognizes, there are a hundred smaller documentaries on equally worthy
issues that barely register with audiences – let alone leave a lasting impression
on society. In recent years, campaigning documentaries have done a lot to rid
30

themselves of the reputation for dingy worthiness. "To honour the documentary
film creating the most significant impact in the world." As the
documentarist Morgan Spurlock, a juror for the award, says: "There's real power
in a documentary, and there's real power in movies to begin with. Movies
transcend culture; they transcend countries, and to be able to have something
that can create global awareness is necessary today."

The literature and studies presented the history and origin of documentary
shows that serves as the researchers’ platform in conducting the present study.
The contents of the literature and studies also showed how documentary shows
are created based on facts and reality, presented in a believable manner that
encourages viewers to patronize the documentary shows. Therefore, the related
literature and studies presented greatly support the current research in finding
the veracity of videography in GMA 7 documentary shows.
Documentary shows play important role in the life of the viewers. They are
beneficial as well to the people patronizing the shows as stated by Dunlop (2015)
in his article How Documentary Films Benefit the World. According to him,
documentaries encourage critical thinking about the present world and seeing
facts can eliminate many myths and superstitions about issues. It can also
educate and inspire people into taking certain steps which will not have been
possible otherwise. Moreover, other benefits stated in the article were
documentaries can open up history in a very interesting manner and can also
teach good common sense and great values to children through the reality
lesson it conveys. Thus, documentary shows are truly beneficial to the audience.

METHODS
This chapter is composed of all the methods and approaches that the
researchers employed to conduct the study. In this chapter, it includes the
research design, sources of data, data gathering procedures, instrument used
and the appropriate statistical treatment employed by the researchers.
Research Design
This method suits the research since the study is designed to identify the
veracity of videography in GMA 7 documentary shows to the chosen
respondents, which are the communication students. This involves the collection
of data from the respondents through survey and observation in order to further
understand the research study.
40
The Veracity of Videography in GMA 7 Documentary Shows
As Perceived by Communication Students
The researchers used this method because they often believe that they
can obtain a representative sample by using a sound judgement, which will result
in saving time and money. The researchers also chose the respondents, which
are the communication students, because they believe that these students can
answer and support the questions or problems in the veracity of videography in
GMA 7 documentary shows.
Sources of Data
The researchers used the whole population in Slovin’s formula of 2 nd, 3rd
and 4th year BA Communication because the number is still manageable by the
researchers. They were selected incidentally according to their year level and
availability during the time of survey. They serve as the primary source to provide
vital information on the veracity of videography in GMA 7 documentary shows.
Upon all the colleges in the university, the researchers focused on the College of
Communication, Bachelor of Arts in Communication or formerly known as Mass
Communication students because they are the most related in the field of study
being researched and expected to respond accordingly and accurately.

Preliminary Steps
Without further ado, after the approval of the survey questionnaire, the
researchers conducted the survey at the available time of the respondents.
Keeping up with the validity of the responses, the researchers asked to fill up the
Part 1 of the survey form which it does not require a checklist to determine the
year, gender and age of the respondents. The respondents briefed
simultaneously to avoid any misunderstanding about the instructions given. Most
of the questions were easy, understandable and needed no further explanation.
However, like any other processes there were respondents who hesitated
to answer the forms insisting that they are busy and caught up to do some other

able to complete the survey questionnaires needed.
Observation – The researchers examined the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year
Communication Students in the College of Communication in New Era University
by roaming around the rooms in COC1 formerly known as Era1, few days before
the actual survey; they observed the surroundings inside each room needed for
the research. Observational studies allow researchers to record behaviour in a
natural setting and witness events that could not be produced in a laboratory.
The importance of this observation is to determine of the study that the
researchers want to conduct to find appropriate sample.

Survey Questionnaire – This method makes data collection a lot easier for
the researchers since it is time-saving and more efficient to their study. It is
defined as the measure of opinions or experiences of a group of people through
the asking of questions. The practically of the said instrument made the
researchers choose questionnaire over other possible instruments that should
use in this research.

The first drafts of questionnaire lack a lot of things in the criteria such as
the choices are too complicated, the grammar is not right, dirty formatting of the
tables and a lot more.
The problems met by the researchers were making the parts of the
questionnaire slightly off with each other and having no experience on making a
research paper. Those problems overall caused the delay of the questionnaire’s
validation and therefore, causing also the delay of scheduled survey.

There are major theories of motivation can be grouped into three main
categories and one of those is physiological. Physiological theories suggest that
responses within the body are responsible for emotions. One of the theories of
emotion posted by Kendra Cherry (2016) an article says that Facial-Feedback
Theory of Emotion suggests that facial expressions are connected to
experiencing emotions and sometimes physiological responses often had a direct
impact on emotion. In documentary shows, natural and true emotions are
inherent by featuring real experience and social issues.

Audio is often the backbone of a video story, setting the tempo and, in
many cases, informing how and when shots are edited together. It’s easy to
overlook sound, but it matters as much as if not more than images in a

sound bites tell us what the people in our stories are thinking and feeling.
Ambient, or location, sound creates a sense of place. Natural sound punctuates
actions and important moments. And narration ties everything together.
