My academic paper’s topic is to research how documentaries play a role in the modern society. There are a total of three arguments I articulate. Documentary styles should be in line with filmmakers’ instinct and information they try conveying. At the same time, film producers are supposed to follow the traditional nonfiction styles as they stand out after layers of selections by film predecessors. Lastly, filmmakers should combine the traditional documentary styles with the latest technology, grabbing more people’s eyes and giving them a fresh film experience. All in all, above three aspects – filmmakers’ intentions, historical evolvement and technological application, are included in directors’ film research prior to the video shooting.
