These type of documentaries usually give insight into certain topics and provide information directly to the audience through voice overs and titles. There is a constant link between what we see and what we hear as an audience in these documentaries, keeping us focused onto the information. The crew behind expository documentaries include commentators, a director, camera operators etc. There may also be a professional figure providing information about the specific topic.
Compared to a observational documentary, sound is a big, key aspect.
The clip shown is a scene from planet earth which is based around wildlife and landscape documentary. David Attenboroughs voice in the background gives insight of what's happening and informs the audience. Its in sync / parallel to the action shown on screen, and is a prime example of an expository documentary. The side of wildlife is exposed and there is constant information given by the specialist.
