Directors commentaries can be effectively presented in various ways, which are using audio over the film or music video. There is always real footage of the producers, editors and directors talking to the camera about what their product is, and how they constructed it. Audio commentaries are additional audio tracks made up of lectures or comments by one or more speakers, which match up with the video in real time. Commentaries can either be entertaining or serious in the way they are presented, and there is usually additional information which would not be explained to audience members.
There are a lot of different types of commentaries. The two main types define the length of the commentary rather than the content type. They are:
- Partial or scene-specific, which discusses only the selected scenes of the film. These are usually recorded without the speaker watching the film and therefore, the commentator can make more general comments, as opposed to critiquing certain details.
- Feature-length or screen-specific, which is recorded in one session: the speakers will view the movie from start to finish and provide their opinions based entirely on what is happening in each part of the movie.
Here is an example of a director's commentary
