Artifice and Self-Reflexivity in Non-Fiction Film

Dual reality: Nonfiction movie techniques and self-reflection Nonfiction movies are movies and genuine original works. Traditionally, the most real and fictional stories are not necessarily a conscious experience, focusing on real perception, making it an application of style and meaning that it was regarded as any art form. Documentaries have more complicated meaning than imaginary works. Because they promote the audience 's reality for imitating a completely different movie in a novel.

Self-reflex- and "transparent" style (related to Hollywood movies) Instead, self-reflection of the style itself is a means to reveal its structure. For example: to make movie about movie production, or to constantly weaken the world of that story of film, (deliberately breaking 'Stitch'), rather than watching a movie to draw attention to you Genuine "or may be concerned about actual events. The director's theory - the way of film research that director is the most important force to produce a movie, he / she is the "author" of the movie. Therefore, the director's style and theme will appear in all the movies that you supervise. Producers, script writers, stars, etc. may also be regarded as directors.

REFLEXIVITY: Self-recognition of movies. Pay attention to your structure (editing, camera movement, performance etc). Reflective movies often remind viewers that they are watching a movie. They can focus on the formal elements of the movie (such as restricting such frames), or they are often left behind in a collective object or sexual way, or on racial, ethnic, gender Based on a movie such as a movie, you can check the social or political influence. Detection time: The duration of the operation by editing the operation, not in real time. For example, CROSS can cut-edit and use CUT-far to deploy or reduce in real time, so that the film has different durations. For example, if you cut a part of a movement, you may cut most of the movement when you cut it. For other ways to manipulate time, see Fast Motion and Slow Motion, Jump Cut, Reverse Motion, Freeze Frame.

Focusing on the experiment with the influence of the culture of the new modern media and reflex research tribal culture, Carpenter shot the Papuas for the first time I saw himself in a picture or animation film: "We shoot people's reaction mirror In this way, we went to Papua Highland Extraction Organization Biami, New Guinea such as cameras, video recorders, people like this, they are very few, like morning mist Even if it disappeared, there are also there ...
