I would appreciate a detailed answer to the role of a camera in a documentary?

Thank you

Your kidding right?
How would a documentary be shot without one.
So it plays a pivotal role as the eyes of the viewer.

Hi, utopian!

Why are you asking the question, please? Is there more information that you can give to us? For instance, is this for a school project of some kind and are you also asking about a still camera or one that takes movies, or maybe even both?

Thanks!

Well , I know it's a 'vague' question since the 'role of a camer' in a documentary.. well... what do you say about that? Something like the role of a canvas for a painting..! But the thing is that this is one of the questions in my assignment which contains all of TWENTY marks! So I am looking for a detailed explanation..
