On Individualized Expressions In Documentary Films

Since the 21 st century,with the popularization of single-mirror,DV and other shooting equipment,folk images have developed vigorously,and the civilian narrative perspective has been widely used in society.More and more creators focus on micro-individuals and take relatives and friends as their shooting objects,which provides us with a unique research perspective.This kind of documentary is different from the traditional type of documentary.It is the creator who selectively records the individual life around him,then presents the real life state through the later editing,and reflects the most simple but sincere emotion through the trivial daily life.Nowadays,the creators of documentaries appear in the films as real persons,and more and more documentaries about relatives and friends around them are observed and recorded from a "personalized" perspective,such as "Four Springs" directed by Lu Qingyi,Jiao Bo's "My Dad and My Mother" directed by photographer Jiao Bo and "Family Video" directed by Yang Lina.And "personalized" expression will be rich for documentary creation,can obtain more information,see more truth.Creator's creative emotion has become an important component of documentary elements.At the same time,the tension generated by the interaction between the creator and the subject will also promote the development of the story.By combining the practical creation of the graduation work The Lonely Road in the Past and the in-depth study of documentary materials,the author will discuss some reflections on the documentary itself caused by subjective intervention and "personalized" perspective in the process of restoring the reality,as well as the significance and value of the creation of "personalized" perspective for documentaries.
