A "documentary film" was originally a movie shot on film stock—the only medium available—but now includes video and digital productions that can be either direct-to-video or made for a television program. "Documentary" has been described as a "filmmaking practice, a cinematic tradition, and mode of audience reception" that is continually evolving and is without clear boundaries.

For example, my top-level layout is: car education financial government health insurance invoices lettings manuals memberships miscellaneous personal politics utilities_services work This may or may not work for other people and does have a certain redundancy/complexity, as I actually put car insurance under 'car' rather than 'insurance' (which just covers contents and travel at the moment) but it's in keeping with the principle I outlined - it's not perfect but it works well enough :) I’ve arranged the directory structure very functionally.

What was your design and how successful has it been? A long search turned up no reference material about personal filing and my latest top level is roughly {work / family / friends / posessions / wishlist / interests / other}. I live a small life :-( Now everything depends on how well you designed your directory structure. What was your design and how successful has it been?
