InstantCast Word of the DayFLY ON THE WALL - A style of documentary-making used in film and television in which events are seen candidly, as a fly on a wall might see them. In the purest form of fly on the wall documentary-making, the camera crew works as unobtrusively as possible; however, it is also common for participants to be interviewed, often by an off-camera voice. One popular example is the hit sitcom The Office!
