A Study Of The Documentary Style In Contemporary Narrative Cinema

Each development of a new portable video device throughout history has followed a realistic aesthetic in the history of cinema to lead this technology into a connection with real life.With the advent of portable recording devices,cinema verité and direct cinema were born as documentary aesthetic propositions in France and the United States and in the 1950 s and 1960 s.In the British documentary movement,the European film movement,and the American independent film movement,different styles of filmmakers explored ways of combining documentary and fiction,and narrative films began to adopt this improvised documentary style as well.In the early 1990 s,with the popularity of digital equipment,the aesthetic of observational documentary was adopted and promoted by the sixth generation of directors and creators of the new documentary movement,which began to use this style of image to look at reality.This documentary approach of narrative films increasingly became the means of expression for the new generation of filmmakers,who began to narrate their own personal experiences,thus developing a documentary style unique to contemporary narrative cinema in mockumentaries,docufictions and docudramas.This paper follows a theory-to-practice approach,combining theory and practice to develop the research and graduation project URANUS DIARY.The documentary styles that appear in the history of cinema are sorted out according to the logic of time,and then through the narrative films of film authors in different periods to find their intersections with these documentary styles in the history of cinema.
