READING PASSAGE-2 
You should spend about 20 minutes on 
Questions 14-26,
 which are based on Reading Passage 2 below.
 
Making Documentary Films 
A 
For much of the twentieth century, documentary films were over shadowed 
by their more successful Hollywood counterparts. For a number of reasons, 
documentaries were frequently ignored by critics and film studies courses at 
universities. Firstly, the very idea of documentary film made some people 
suspicious. As the critic Dr Helmut Fischer put it, ‘Documentary makers might have 
ambitions to tell the “truth” and show only “facts” but there is no such thing as a 
non-fiction film. That’s because, as soon as you record an incident on camera, you 
are altering its reality in a fundamental way’. Secondly, even supporters of 
documentaries could not agree on a precise definition, which did little to improve 
the reputation of the genre. Lastly, there were also concerns about the ethics of 
filming subjects without their consent, which is a necessity in many documentary 
films.
