Activity 1.2.1
Do you ever wonder the different theme/analysis and techniques used in particular text, article,
narrative, biography, autobiography, memoir, diary, travelogue, literary journal, chronicle and personal
essay?
Well you can write any idea you have inside the box. Choose only one.
The genre of creative nonfiction also known as literary nonfiction is broad enough to include
travel writing (travelogue) nature writing, science writing, sports, writing, biography, autobiography, memoir,
the interview and both the familiar and personal essay ; although there is no such as new in nonfiction most
common usually encountered like what has been mentioned. There are some forms of nonfiction like the
docufiction, documentary film, Gonzo journalism and nonfiction novel.
The difference between creative writing and nonfiction is that nonfiction, by contrast is factual and reports on
true events. Histories, biographies, journalism and essays are all considered nonfiction. This has given rise
to a new trend called creative nonfiction, which uses the techniques of fiction to report on true events.
Docufiction (or docu-fiction), often confused with docudrama, is the cinematographic combination of
documentary and fiction, this term often meaning narrative film.
It is a film genre which attempts to capture reality such as it is (as direct cinema or cinéma vérité)
and which simultaneously introduces unreal elements or fictional situations in narrative in order to
strengthen the representation of reality using some kind of artistic expression. More precisely, it is a
documentary contaminated with fictional elements, in real time, filmed when the events take place, and in
which someone – the character – plays his own role in real life. A film genre in expansion, it is adopted by a
number of experimental filmmakers.
The new term docufiction appeared at the beginning of the 21st century. It is now commonly used
in several languages and widely accepted for classification by international film festivals. Either in cinema or
television, docufiction is, anyway, a film genre in full development during the first decade of this century.
The worddocufiction is also sometimes used to refer to literary journalism (creative nonfiction).

A documentary film is a non-fictional motion-picture intended to "document reality, primarily for the
purposes of instruction, education, or maintaining a historical record"
- compare documentary theatre. Bill Nichols has characterized the documentary in terms of "a filmmaking
practice, a cinematic tradition, and mode of audience reception [that remains] a practice without clear
boundaries". Documentary films, originally called "actuality films", lasted one minute, or less. Over time,
documentaries have evolved to become longer in length, and to include more categories; some examples
being: educational, observational, and docufiction. Documentaries are meant [by whom?] to be
informative works, and are often used within schools, as a resource to teach various principles.

Gonzo journalism is a style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the
reporter as part of the story via a first-person narrative. The word "gonzo" is believed to have been first
used in 1970 to describe an article by Hunter S. Thompson, who later popularized the style. It is an
energetic first-person participatory writing style in which the author is a protagonist, and it draws its power
from a combination of social critique and self-satire. It has since been applied to other subjective artistic
endeavors.
Gonzo journalism involves an approach to accuracy that concerns the reporting of personal
experiences and emotions, in contrast to traditional journalism, which favors a detached style and relies on
facts or quotations that can be verified by third parties. Gonzo journalism disregards the strictly-edited
product favored by newspaper media and strives for a more personal approach; the personality of a piece is
as important as the event or actual subject of the piece. Use of sarcasm, humor, exaggeration, and
profanity is common.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzo_journalism)
The non-fiction novel is a literary genre which, broadly speaking, depicts real historical figures and actual
events woven together with fictitious conversations and uses the storytelling techniques of fiction. The non-
fiction novel is an otherwise loosely defined and flexible genre. The genre is sometimes referred to using the
slang term "faction", a portmanteau of the words fact and fiction.
