Meanwhile, the [[Faux Documentary]] is what a Mockumentary becomes when it often discards the constraints of a supposed documentary crew. Also see [[Left It In]], when people in the documentary directly request (to the camera) that something be cut or edited out, a request that is denied, since you, the viewer, still get to see it.
