hey i was just wondering if documentary films had the same techniques as feature films. if not, can someone please post up techniques used in documentary films.

I'd say the techniques are a fusion of current affairs/news with Film. So yes, Camera Angles, Music, Colour etc.. closeups etc.. are all important, but also the way they conduct interviews, any information/titles and stuff. (E.g shaky camera effect conveys realism)
