Film genre
Moana
Docufiction (or docu-fiction ) is the cinematographic combination of documentary and fiction , this term often meaning narrative film . It is a film genre [1] as direct cinema or cinéma vérité ) and which simultaneously introduces unreal elements or fictional situations in narrative in order to strengthen the representation of reality using some kind of artistic expression .[2]
More precisely, it is a documentary mixed with fictional elements,[3] in real time , filmed when the events take place, and in which the main character or characters—often portrayed by non-professional or amateur actors—are essentially playing themselves, or slightly fictionalized versions of themselves, in a fictionalized scenario. In this sense, docufiction may overlap to an extent with some aspects of the mockumentary format, but the terms are not synonymous.
A film genre in expansion, it is adopted by a number of experimental filmmakers.[citation needed
The neologism docufiction[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
Robert Flaherty
Origins
[ edit ]
The term involves a way of making films already practiced by such authors as Robert Flaherty , one of the fathers of documentary,[14] [15] Jean Rouch , later in the 20th century.
Being both fiction and documentary ,[16] hybrid genre,[17] ethical problems[18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] truth , since reality may be manipulated and confused with fiction (see Ethics at creative non-fiction ).
In the domain of visual anthropology , the innovating role of Jean Rouch[25] ethnofiction .[26] [27] ethnographic documentary film with natives who play fictional roles. Making them play a role about themselves will help portray reality, which[28] imagery . A non-ethnographic documentary with fictional elements uses the same method and, for the same reasons, may be called docufiction.
Docudrama and mockumentary
[ edit ]
In contrast, docudrama is usually a dramatized recreation of factual events in form of a documentary, at a time subsequent to the "real" events it portrays.[29] docudrama can be confused with docufiction, "docudrama" refers specifically to film or other television recreations that dramatize certain events, often with actors. [citation needed
A mockumentary is also a film or television show in which fictitious events are presented in documentary format, sometimes a recreation of factual events after they took place or a comment on current events , typically satirical, comedic or even dramatic.[30] improvisational dialogue and character development.
