Research - John Corner

John Corner:

  • Says it is critical that the film makers be rid of the fantasy that the documentary can be unproblematic representation of reality and that the truth must be revealed
  • It is unknown how much truth and reality is presented, and this is why facts and evidence are key in documentaries
He claims that there are 5 central elements to documentaries:
  1. Observation
  2. Interview
  3. Dramatisation
  4. Mise En Scene
  5. Exposion

He has also written some books about media and television studies. I can read these books in order to gain more understanding of this theories, to later use in my documentary. This research will be very beneficial, even if it is not included in my documentary, it will help to improve my understanding of his theorists.
