While transparency aims to present the object itself without awareness of the medium used, hypermediacy aims to also take into account the medium through which said object is presented. A documentary, for example, aims to deliver the true story without movie-making showmanship that could partly obscure the message. It aims to be transparent in order to fully tell the story. An action-packed adventure movie, on the other hand, attempts to use modern technology to amaze viewers with spectacles otherwise impossible without computers and camera tricks.
