In the 1960's and 70's television provided some minority viewing for short films scheduled into 'filler' and late night slots.
In the 1990's BBC2 series 10x10, in association with the British Film Industry, showcased shot film.
In 1993 BBC launched videoactivism, populist mass observation on teh close-up straight to camera.
Cameras then were small and cheap so it allowed this revolution to happen.
The video diary was to influence the generation of 'reality TV' online in 2001.
A lot of short films that were very similar to documentaries were made in that time and were representative of occurences that happened that people were either against, or in favour of. Videos of protests, marches, and various other political things were filmed in order to show the 'reality' of it.
