10 Kim Longinotto in summary:
Filmmaker’s Theories Kim Longinotto in summary: She tries to make documentaries as like fiction films as possible. She never ‘sets anything up’. She doesn’t see her films as documents or records. She likes to find characters the audience can identify with. As a filmmaker, she is invisible. Very little use of voiceover, interviews, captions or music. Films must have conclusion, but raise questions. Grade A: can you evaluate how far these theories are applicable? Grade B: can you link theories to key scenes? Grade C: can you recall film makers’ theories / digital technology influences?

12 Filmmaker’s Theories You’ve got 5 minutes to brainstorm everything you remember about Peter Watkins’ approach to documentary filmmaking. Grade A: can you evaluate how far these theories are applicable? Grade B: can you link theories to key scenes? Grade C: can you recall film makers’ theories / digital technology influences?

13 Filmmaker’s Theories Peter Watkins began his career in advertising as an assistant producer and turned to amateur filmmaking in the late 1950s. In the mid-'60s he was commissioned by BBC-TV to make two feature-length docudramas incorporating a quasi-newsreel style and nonprofessional actors. The second of these, The War Game (1965), graphically portrayed the nightmare of nuclear war and was banned from broadcast. Grade A: can you evaluate how far these theories are applicable? Grade B: can you link theories to key scenes? Grade C: can you recall film makers’ theories / digital technology influences?

16 Filmmaker’s Theories Grade A: can you evaluate how far these theories are applicable? Grade B: can you link theories to key scenes? Grade C: can you recall film makers’ theories / digital technology influences?

17 Peter Watkins in summary:
Filmmaker’s Theories Peter Watkins in summary: A pioneer of ‘docudrama’. Likes using actors. Likes using reconstructions. He is cynical of the media ‘monoform’. Interested in the audiences ‘role’ in a film – as participants. Grade A: can you evaluate how far these theories are applicable? Grade B: can you link theories to key scenes? Grade C: can you recall film makers’ theories / digital technology influences?

18 Key scene #2 Film opening.

20 Critical Debates Grade A: can you evaluate how far these theories are applicable? Grade B: can you link theories to key scenes? Grade C: can you recall film makers’ theories / digital technology influences?

21 Digital Debate Grade A: can you evaluate how far these theories are applicable? Grade B: can you link theories to key scenes? Grade C: can you recall film makers’ theories / digital technology influences?

22 Digital Technologies The film is shot on HD digital cameras and the footage of Nick Cave in the present is sharp and exploits on a number of occasions the reflexive nature of the film, which avoids the normal clichés of the rock star biographical documentary. Grade A: can you evaluate how far these theories are applicable? Grade B: can you link theories to key scenes? Grade C: can you recall film makers’ theories / digital technology influences?

23 Digital Technologies The film also uses archive footage from a number of sources which chronicle Cave’s long career in music. The selection of this material does offer an interesting counterpoint to the footage shot by Forsyth and Pollard. Grade A: can you evaluate the impact digital technologies have in representation? Grade B: can you explain the impact these technologies have? Grade C: can you identify digital technology influences in 20,000 Days on Earth?

24 Digital Technologies The use of the faux archive and the in-car interviews for example, show how a different approach can be taken in examining an artist’s career. However it might be asked if these techniques could equally be done on analogue film? Has the digital process been important here, beyond obvious issues like cost? Does the long-take encourage a more productive set of points in the conversations without having to change the film? Grade A: can you evaluate how far these theories are applicable? Grade B: can you link theories to key scenes? Grade C: can you recall film makers’ theories / digital technology influences?

25 Digital Technologies The opening montage of the film with its combination of archive and digitally created images may raise issues about digital editing techniques and how these might create a certain type of mood for the spectator. Grade A: can you evaluate how far these theories are applicable? Grade B: can you link theories to key scenes? Grade C: can you recall film makers’ theories / digital technology influences?
