Full texts claim of representing reality. Within this respect, documentary has its own particular codes and conventions to construct its factual discourse. Mock-documentary, simulates these codes and conventions to create a fictional world. In this study, mock-documentary and its relationship with the most popular modes of documentary is examined. Within this study the earliest examples of mock-documentary and recent examples of the form are compared, and it is stated that with the recent examples of the form the critical approach of mock-documentary has been reduced.

In the practice of documentary creation, a videographer performs an elaborate balancing act between observing the world, deciding what to record, and understanding the implications of the recorded material, all with respect to her primary goal of story construction. This thesis presents mindful documentary, a model of a videographer's cyclical process of thinking and constructing during a documentary production. The purpose of this model is to better support documentary creation through systems that assist the documentary videographer in discovering new methods of observation, ways of thinking, and novel stories while recording the world. Based on the mindful documentary model, a reflective partnership is established between the videographer and a camera with commonsense reasoning abilities during capture and organization of documentary video collections. Knowledge is solicited from the videographer at the point of capture; it is used to generate narrative or contextual shot suggestions, which provide alternative recording path ideas for the videographer. Thus, the system encourages the videographer to reflect on the story possibilities of a documentary collection during real-time capture. Qualitative results of studies with a group of videographers - including novices and experts - showed a willingness to take suggestions during documentary production and, in some cases, to alter the recording path after reflection on shot possibilities presented by the system. Moreover, suggestions often had increased influence on the recording path if they were not taken as directives but as catalysts, i.e., prompts to expand thinking about the documentary subject rather than explicit shot instructions.
(cont.) Critical lessons were learned about methodology and system design for documentary production. As a documentary is built, evidence of what the videographer has learned is represented in the documentary. The model, methodology, and system presented in this thesis provide a basis for understanding how videographers think during documentary construction and how machines with commonsense reasoning resources can serve as creative storytelling partners.

Full textIn recent years, interactive documentary field has been gradually growing because of great changes in the world of Internet, promising interactive documentary projects, and the increase in academic studies within the field. Nevertheless, relatively little is known about the relationship between user and interactive documentary. The aim of this study was to measure users’ attitudes and actual interaction toward different levels of interactivity manipulated in two designed interactive documentaries. The users’ attitudes were categorized in this study as: narrative engagement, perceived interactivity, perceived involvement, and attitude toward the interactive documentary website. Another purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between users’ actual interaction and their perceptions. To fully understand interactive documentary, the study, therefore, sought to compare interactivity with linearity in terms of narrative engagement and perceived involvement. A sample of 360 participants was randomly divided into three groups and assigned to view three designed documentaries, and to answer the related questionnaire. The study also used software packages to measure and monitor users’ actual behaviors. The findings of this study indicated that there was a significant relationship between the high level of actual interactivity and both perceived interactivity, and attitude toward the interactive documentary website. On the other hand, the findings revealed that there was a positive correlation between perceived interactivity and both perceived involvement and attitude toward the interactive documentary website. However, the study did not find a correlation between perceived interactivity and narrative engagement. Moreover, the findings showed that the participants’ actual interaction was positively correlated with their perceptions, and the participants who viewed the linear documentary were significantly involved with the documentary narrative more than other groups. Discussion, limitation, and future studies were presented in this study

Full textEver since filmmakers started making non-fiction films, they have been plagued by the question of objectivity. Is it true, is it accurate, and is it fair? Today television consumers have become sophisticated and media savvy. They know that with any documentary, a number of editorial and creative decisions are being made often by a number of people working in a team. The question in this study is how a film can still be truthful, fair and relevant for viewers despite a clear bias on the part of the filmmaker. Michael Rabiger, Stella Bruzzi, and Sheila Bernard gave great insight into the importance of fairness toward participants, while the P.O.V series aired on PBS in the US show how to make films from a particular point of view to stimulate debate. Based on this I will argue that it is possible for a filmmaker to hold a particular view and to still make a film that is fair and accurate.

O objetivo desta tese é refletir sobre o documentário animado. Um produto audiovisual que mistura documentário e animação e está redefinindo o papel do design na produção das novas mídias. Mostramos também que o documentário animado reacende uma série de debates e reflexões relativas à teoria do documentário e da animação em relação às concepções de realismo. A nossa principal premissa é que o documentário sempre se apropriou da tecnologia de forma a favorecer a experimentação e, o documentário animado, em 3D, é a sua forma de se apropriar das tecnologias digitais. Para comprovar esta hipótese mostramos como a experimentação da tecnologia se deu no documentário em diferentes épocas, mais precisamente nos períodos do primeiro cinema, das vanguardas e da escola britânica – de 1900 a 1930, os anos de 1960, e os anos de 1990 (novas mídias). O que nos interessa é investigar esta relação entre os meios de produção utilizados na realização do documentário – quer tenham esta denominação ou não – e os modos de representação e estilos resultantes da tecnologia de cada época, que pretendemos delinear brevemente. O Design está presente nos dois aspectos: nos meios de produção, por sua tradição ligada ao desenvolvimento de tecnologias e instrumentos para viabilizar a produção, e nos modos de representação, porque as referências estéticas da animação são oriundas das artes gráficas (quadrinhos, ilustrações, etc). Isto também explica, em parte, a ausência da animação na teoria do cinema, aspecto que questionamos, mostrando como a animação está contemplada na teoria Deleuziana. Para concluir, fazemos um estudo de caso de um documentário animado emblemático, por sua abordagem da tecnologia 3D. Ryan (2004), de Chris Landreth, resume o potencial do documentário animado enquanto experimentação da tecnologia, intensidade narrativa e estética não figurativa, em singular referência ao pintor Francis Bacon.
The objective of this thesis is to reflect on the animated documentary. An audiovisual product that mixes both documentary and animation and is redefining the role of the design in the production of new media. We also show that the animated documentary rekindled a series of debates and reflections related to documentary s theory and realism concepts in animation. Our main premise is that the documentary has always appropriated of technology in order to allow experimentation, and the animated documentary, in 3D, is the way to appropriate itself of digital technologies. To prove this hypothesis, we show how the trial of the technology occurred in documentary s history at different times, more precisely during the periods of the early cinema, the vanguards and the British School – from 1900 to 1930, the 1960 s and the 1990 s (new media). What concern us is to investigate this relationship between the means of production used in the making of documentary movies – having this denomination or not – and ways of representation and styles resulting from the technology of each period, which we intend to outline briefly. The Design is present in both two aspects: in the means of production – for its tradition related to the development of technologies and tools to make production viable – and in the ways of representation, since the aesthetic references of animation cinema came from the graphic arts (comics, illustration, etc.). This also explains, partially, the absence of animation in cinema s theory, an aspect that we question, showing how animation is included in Deleuze s cinema s theory. Finally, we develop a case study of an emblematic animated documentary, for its approach to the 3D technology. Chris Landreth s Ryan (2004) is a synthesis of potential of the animated documentary as technological experimentation, narrative intensity and non-figurative aesthetic, in a unique reference to the painter Francis Bacon.
Cette thèse a le but de réfléchir sur le documentaire animé. Un produit audiovisuel qui mélange documentaire et animation et qui est en train de redéfinir le rôle du design dans la production des nouveaux médias. Nous montrons que le documentaire animé rallume une série de débats et de réflexions sur la théorie du documentaire et de l animation concernant les conceptions du réalisme. Notre principale prémisse est que le documentaire s est toujours approprié de la technologie de manière à favoriser l expérimentation, et le documentaire animé en 3D est la façon dont il s approprie des technologies numériques. Pour prouver cette hypothèse, nous montrons comment s est déroulée l expérimentation de la technologie dans le documentaire dans de différentes époques, plus précisément durant les périodes du premier cinema, les avant-gardes et l école britannique −de 1900 à 1930, les années 1960 et 1990 (nouveaux médias). Ce qui nous intéresse c est d étudier la relation entre les moyens de production utilisés dans la réalisation du documentaire –que ce soit avec cette dénomination ou pas− et les manières de représentation et de styles résultant de la technologie de chaque période, que nous prétendons ébaucher brièvement. Le design est présent dans deux aspects: dans les moyens de production, par sa tradition liée au développement de technologies et d outils pour faciliter la production, et dans les manières de représentation, parce que les références esthétiques de l animation sont des arts graphiques (bandes dessinées, illustrations etc.). Ceci aussi explique, en partie, l absence de l animation dans la théorie du cinéma, un aspect que nous questionons, en montrant comment l animation est envisagée dans la théorie deleuzienne. Pour conclure, nous faisons une étude de cas d un documentaire animé emblématique, par son traitement de la technologie 3D. Ryan (2004), de Chris Landreth, résume le potentiel du documentaire animé tout en expérimentant avec la technologie, l intensité narrative et l esthétique non figurative, en singulière référence au peintre Francis Bacon.

This thesis is concerned with the relationship between the storytelling tradition and documentary moviemaking. This relationship is evaluated in three distinct points of departure. The evolution of the storytelling process from a traditional oral form of communication, by word of mouth, to its integral incorporation into the electronic media, particularly through the dissemination of motion picture and television. The documentary moviemaker and the storyteller are potentially seeking the same quest as explorers of reality. They want to teach their listeners (viewers), and need "reality" as a canvas for telling stories. A personal examination of my documentary, By Word of Mouth...Storytelling in America. By actually making a documentary about storytellers at the 10th Annual Storytelling Festival, my personal understanding of the storyteller and the documentary moviemaker became a reflexive realization in better understanding these two forms of communication. This thesis consists of a text accompanied by a videocassette of By Word of Mouth Storytelling in America.
