ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Actuality film

Actuality films are like real-life stories on camera. They show things happening in the real world without any made-up parts. Think about it like a movie that you and your friends make during recess where you film things happening around you like playing tag, having a snack, or drawing pictures.

Now, imagine adults doing the same thing, but instead of playing tag, they might be showing you how they cook or clean their house. Sometimes, actuality films are made to show how things work, like a factory making toys or how doctors perform surgery.

In actuality films, there are no actors pretending to be someone else, and the camera captures real people and real situations. It's like watching a documentary, except shorter and less formal.

So, sit back, relax and enjoy watching these real-life stories on camera, just like you would enjoy playing a game with your friends during recess.
