  • WJEC Film Studies GCE Specification (From 2010)
    BFI Media Conference 2014 Teaching Documentary - Mark Piper WJEC Film Studies GCE Specification (from 2010) FM4: VARIETIES OF FILM EXPERIENCE – ISSUES AND DEBATES This unit contributes to synoptic assessment. Understanding will be fostered through: - studying complex films from different contexts, extending knowledge of the diversity of film and its effects - exploring spectatorship issues in relation to a particular type of film - applying key concepts and critical approaches (b) Spectatorship and Documentary: The study of the impact on the spectator of different kinds of documentary – for example, the overtly persuasive and the apparently observational film. Examples may be taken from both historical (such as 30s and 40s British Documentary or 60s Cinéma Verité) and contemporary examples, including work on video. A minimum of two feature-length documentaries should be studied for this topic. AQA Media Studies Specification (from 2015) UNIT 1 – MEST1 – INVESTIGATING MEDIA The aim of this unit is to enable candidates to investigate the media by applying media concepts to a range of media products in order to reach an understanding of how meanings and responses are created. Candidates will firstly investigate a wide range of media texts to familiarise themselves with media language and media codes and conventions and then embark upon a cross-media study. The cross-media study The knowledge and understanding of media concepts and contexts gained through the investigation and comparison of individual media texts will then be developed by making a detailed case study chosen from a range of topics. Centres should choose a topic area that communicates with audiences across the media platforms; a topic which includes media products that can be classified, perhaps loosely, as a genre.

  • Why Documentaries Matter Recognised As an Innovative Cultural Form
    RISJ CHALLENGES CHALLENGES Documentaries have for many decades inhabited the schedules of public Why Documentaries Matter Why broadcasters. They have chronicled the lives and institutions of western democracies. In the past two decades, however, documentaries have become Why Documentaries Matter recognised as an innovative cultural form. Instead of being exclusively funded by television channels, documentaries receive money from a number of sources, including film funds, private investors and foundations. Rather than observing, documentaries are now thought capable of changing the world. Is this what they really do? How do we define a documentary? What does it mean to be the ‘author’ of a film? Nick Fraser has been editor of the BBC’s Storyville series since 1997; here he looks at the history of documentaries, showing how definitions of documentaries have changed – and how fragile is their funding. If we want good documentaries, he concludes, we have to find ways of encouraging their creators. “Nick Fraser writes about documentaries with unique authority. Not only has he made some good ’uns, he has commissioned more than practically anyone else on earth (for the BBC’s Storyville) and - as this book shows - he Nick Fraser has watched docs from their earliest days. His ideas on what the growth of the web and the decline of public service broadcasters mean for doc-makers are informed, imaginative and challenging.” Brian Lapping Chairman and Executive Producer, Brook Lapping “The rise of documentaries over the past two decades owes more to Nick Fraser than to any other single person. For so many of us who make non-fiction films, Nick’s peerless brand of tough love and mischievous curiosity have inspired us to aim higher as we try to promote greater understanding of the major events and issues of our time.” Eugene Jarecki Documentary film maker “This expert lament is beautifully written.

  • Documentary Film 3. Filmmakers' Theories Introduction
    Component 2 Global filmmaking perspectives Section B: Documentary Film 3. Filmmakers’ Theories Introduction (from the specification) The documentary film will be explored in relation to key filmmakers from the genre. The documentary film studied may either directly embody aspects of these theories or work in a way that strongly challenges these theories. In either case, the theories will provide a means of exploring different approaches to documentary film and filmmaking. Two of the following filmmakers' theories must be chosen for study: Peter Watkins Watkins established his reputation with two docu-dramas from the 1960s, Culloden and The War Game. Both document events from the past using actors and reconstruction. In asking questions of conventional documentary, Watkins reflects his deep concern with mainstream media, which he has called the ‘monoform’. Nick Broomfield Broomfield, like Michael Moore, has developed a participatory, performative mode of documentary filmmaking. Broomfield is an investigative documentarist with a distinctive interview technique which he uses to expose people's real views. Like Watson, he keeps the filmmaking presence to a minimum, normally with a crew of no more than three. He describes his films as 'like a rollercoaster ride. They’re like a diary into the future.' 1 Kim Longinotto Longinotto has said 'I don’t think of films as documents or records of things. I try to make them as like the experience of watching a fiction film as possible, though, of course, nothing is ever set up.' Her work is about finding characters that the audience will identify with – 'you can make this jump into someone else’s experience'.
