| description | The authoring of documentary scripts is frequently overlooked when judging a documentary’s
quality. This could be because the documentary script is regarded as merely a tool that has
little impact on the final output of the film. Documentaries in Malaysia are considered as
sluggish, with a “soft culture” approach to documentary production, despite the fact that the
world of documentary production has evolved to a “dramatic entertainment” approach.
Researchers propose a literary device-based writing style called as New Journalism as a
possible option for documentary writers across the country. In comparison to traditional
types of writing, this style combines factual and fictional writing to produce literature that is
more creative, new, and alive. It is intended that by using a new type of journalism to write
documentary scripts, scriptwriters will modify their approach to producing works, resulting in
documentaries that are more skilful, competitive, and relevant to the demands of today’s
audience. |
