Archive film and photographs is also another convention used in documentary. Archive footage is footage that is added into the documentary and is often filmed before the documentary. The footage is often talked about while being displayed on screen. Archive photographs are similar to archive footage and are used in the same way. The reason the archive footage and photographs are used in documentary is because it supports the argument of the documentary. It also makes the documentary more believable and adds more information about the topic in interest. A example of this is the bowling for columbine documentary.
(The documentary bowling for columbine uses archive footage)
