quasi-documentary
Explanation:
However, other films are quasi-documentary in nature, and reflect what the screenwriters feel were the thoughts, words, and actions of the participants in a battle. The American Civil War film Gettysburg was based on actual events during the battle, including the defense of Little Round Top by Colonel Joshua Chamberlain.

Here's how The Office is different from your typical sit-com: It doesn't have jokes. Shot in a quasi-documentary style (think Christopher Guest) with a roving hand-held camera that stops for direct interviews with the characters, the show doesn't rely on lame set-ups or ridiculous gags.
