The Ken Burns method of film making:
1. Film a photograph

2. Have someone talk over it

3. Film a landscape

4. Use the same music over and over and over again.

5. Print and show on PBS

That is always an integral part of tendentious, liberal, documentary film-making.

Errol Morris is the ne plus ultra of documentarians when it comes to this technique.

Though he prefers to rely mostly on very weird reenactments and subtly placed digs-through nifty camera work and lighting adjustments-at his chosen targets.
