“Documentary for both television and cinema has become a more commercial enterprise and the move towards an overt use of drama alongside the covert presence of dramatic license, the preponderance of computerised special effects or the manipulation or re-editing to suite a films argument or narrative are moves that exemplify the commercialisation of non-fictional output and its concomitant shift away from the observational mode”.

néma vérité , (French: “truth cinema”), French film movement of the 1960s that showed people in everyday situations with authentic dialogue and naturalness of action. Rather than following the usual technique of shooting sound and pictures together, the film maker first tapes actual conversations, interviews, and opinions. After selecting the best material, he films the visual material to fit the sound, often using a hand-held camera. The film is then put together in the cutting room.
