Inszenierung Dokumentarfilm

Although documentary forms are at the forefront of further training, it is often the case that staging skills are also required in this area: whether through hybrid forms such as docu-fiction or simply to show a real protagonist in the film performing an action instead of narrating it. Over the past ten years, a new fictionalization of narrative forms in documentary film has also become noticeable. Fictional design principles such as shot-reverse shot can be found in award-winning documentary film productions. Andres Veiel, with his award-winning work “Blackbox BRD” but also his later documentary feature films, proves to be a pioneer of this development.
