1. Documentary is a film or television art form that takes real life as the creative material, real people and real events as the performance objects, and artistically processes and displays them. Its essence is to show the truth and make people think with it. The core of documentary is truth. The birth of film began with the creation of documentary. The experimental films such as "The Gate of the Factory" and "The Train Entering the Station" filmed by Louis Lumiere in France 1895 are all documentaries. China documentary shooting began at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century. The first one is Dingjun Mountain at 1905. Some of the earliest scenes, including social scenes in the late Qing Dynasty and historical figure Li Hongzhang, were all taken by foreign photographers. Documentaries can be divided into film documentaries and TV documentaries.

The word documentary was first put forward by John Gleason of Britain. He is a disciple of Flahadi, the father of documentary. However, he did not give a perfect definition of documentary, and many famous artists have had differences around this issue.

4. The founders of documentary aesthetics: Wiltoff and Flahadi. Among them, Wiltoff initiated the "Movie Eye School", which advocated that the camera should "catch life by surprise" like the human eye, and opposed artificial performances, even films (feature films) with performances. The Nanook, Flahardy's pioneering work in the north, was played by Nanook's "reality", and Nanook, who was finally returned to the original life by modern civilization, even died because of lack of winter food. As pioneers of documentaries, their styles are very different, which will become the source of documentary genre disputes in the future.

5. Documentary Movement in 1950s: The trend of documentary creation that began in the late 1950s actually consisted of two major documentary movements, namely, the "real movie" movement represented by French director Jean Rouch (196 1 Summer Chronicle) and American Messos Brothers (1969) Salesman. The real film is a participatory film, which allows the director to intervene in the filming process of the documentary and incite the development of some plots. Direct cinema is an observational film, which tries to avoid interfering with the course of events and requires the director to take a strict and objective position so as not to destroy the natural tendency of the object.
