The ability of film analysis is not important only for film critics and researchers, but also for any person who would like to watch a film and understand both the visible and invisible sides of the film (phenomena hidden under the images, sounds, colors, forms, words etc).

According to the needs of the learner, the following topics should be covered partially or fully to develop critical and analytical abilities in documentary films:

• Social context
• Artistic solutions
• Technical range
• Harmony between different parts and components
• Reasonableness
  Each of the above-mentioned categories contains a huge amount of topics.
