Fly on the wall is a style of documentary-making used in film and television. The name derived from the idea that 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.

In fact, Bloomberg is currently working on a direct competitor to TheFlyOnTheWall.com that's called First Word. It's described as a company RSS feeder according to Talking Biz News.

It is now most often used in relation to 'fly on the wall documentaries', which are films of real life situations supposedly made without affecting the behaviour of the participants. It is de rigeur for participants in such films to comment along the lines of 'We just got used to the camera crew and after a while we just ignored them'. Well, maybe. I must say that if I had half a dozen strangers trooping around my house I think I would know that they were there.
