  • Represents the little people, 'voxpop' - voice of the people - Moore and Broomfield
  • No use of 'voxpop' - Kapadia 
  • Looks at individuals rather than big groups or issues in society - Broomfield, Kapadia 
  • Based on real topics - Moore, Broomfield, Kapadia 
  • More subjective, explicitly representing their own opinions - Moore, Broomfield 
  • Implicitly represents their views - Kapadia
  • Are in their own films - Moore, Broomfield 
  • Acts as the spokesperson for the silenced people, pushing against the mainstream media and government - Moore
  • Home video footage, shaping a narrative from this, more open-minded - Kapadia
  • Shape the narrative themselves, knowing the story they want to tell, causing bias from the beginning - Moore and Broomfield
