Lavaliers on parties featured, a boom over head, and shotguns on each camera used to film it? Audio is very important to have for those productions --from what I understand-- but can one have too many audio sources, too little, and is the scenario mentioned above too many to have? Just enough...

Are documentaries scripted? When I say scripted I mean entirely, and not solely for parts where voice over will be included.
