Cinema Verite movement

19 10 2008

Sometimes the cinema verite is just a record film, just been nature, been easy. The camera is as your eyes, then you use it to see everything you want to see.

Leacock and Drew, these filmmakers were getting excited by the possibilities of this new approach to recording events and people. They have some characteristics,

just like they use the hand held cameras, they ditch the tripod and dolly, don’t use overlaid sound, all the time they don’t ask any questions, and the important is they

don’t ask anybody to do anything.

The camera is like your eyes, and it can express the train of your thought. What is interesting, then you will look at that place;what makes you feel curiously, you will

look at that place. The camera can reflect it very turely. This kind of record film, can make the viewers into a real space of the producer want to express. And it’s not only

truely and nature, but also is very pureness and believable.

And the sound is very turely, too. They use the live sound, not the overlaid sound, so this kind of film can make the viewers beleable.
