When it was formed?
In the early 1900s the first documentaies were introduced, and developed from that date.
What were the first documentaries?
Roamanticism= Flaherty filmed a number of heavily staged romantic films during this time period, often showing how his subjects would have lived 100 years earlier and not how they lived right then. over the years.
The City Symphony= The continental, or realist, tradition focused on humans within human-made environments, and included the so-called "city symphony" films.
How has it changed?
Documentaries have changed significantly since the first ones, the new technologies have helped documentaries. Technology such as handheld cameras have helped documentaries progress because of the ease of filming. Handheld camera make filming documentaries easier because the camera men can follow the situation as it unfolds making the audience feel more involved. The camera angles also present a realistic approach with the audience seeing the camera's real footage.
Key dates in documentary history:
1990: Early film (pre-1900) was dominated by the novelty of showing an event.
1915: Scenics were among the most popular sort of films at the time.
1920: Robert J. Flaherty's Nanook of the North in 1922, documentary film embraced romanticism.
1925: The propagandist tradition consists of films made with the explicit purpose of persuading an audience of a point
1935:In Britain, a number of different film-makers came together under John Grierson. They became known as the Documentary Film Movement.
1950's: Cinéma vérité (or the closely related direct cinema) was dependent on some technical advances in order to exist: light, quiet and reliable cameras, and portable sync sound.
New fundamentals were: following a person during a crisis with a moving, often handheld, camera to capture more personal reactions. There are no sit-down interviews, and the shooting ratio (the amount of film shot to the finished product) is very high, often reaching 80 to one.
1960-70's: Documentary film was often conceived as a political weapon against neocolonialism and capitalism in general.
Modern times: The nature of documentary films has expanded in the past 20 years from the cinema verité style introduced in the 1960s in which the use of portable camera and sound equipment allowed an intimate relationship between film-maker and subject. Modern documentaries have some overlap with television forms, with the development of "reality television" that occasionally verges on the documentary but more often veers to the fictional or staged. The making-of documentary shows how a movie or a computer game was produced.
