FILM AUTHENTICITY

I will be posting feedback here on research carried out on the subject matter of film authenticity. Regarding my study, the term 'authenticity' in relation to film is defined as 'a worthy replication of the original', i.e an authentic reproduction of historical or contemporary settings. To enhance my research I will be examining the techniques and research used to make a film look and sound authentic during pre-production, filming and post-production. Case studies will appear on here in the coming months on various "making of" documentaries that I will be indulging in. Technical research used in films such as Saving Private Ryan (1998, Spielberg), and The Wrestler (2008 Aronofsky), to name just two examples, will be discussed.
