How to capture real life scenes in a documentary?

The basic operation of documentary real lens, whether artistic creation or non-artistic shooting, is a reflection of people directly facing things in the life world. All the images formed on the screen, including all the details, are the same in real life. Because of this, people even have an unquestionable principle, that is, nothing is allowed to cheat on every frame. In fact, this is the basic feature of all documentary filming.

Real shooting should be purposeful, not carefully arranged. Most importantly, capturing the pictures of real life and the light and shadow effects at that time must serve a theme, rather than capturing anything casually. Then, the choice of fragments and the grasp of the plot, especially the attention and capture of details, may be what we need to use our brains and efforts most.

In actual shooting, you actually use these clips or plots to convey different emotions, feelings or thoughts at different times under the guidance of re-examining these clips or plots under the premise of nature and truth. The characters or plots in the scene are constantly changing. Without interference, almost every moment in this ever-changing life chain is real and vivid, but without human imagination, it is difficult to capture vivid moments. If a moment is not real and vivid, it will be disturbed by you. In fact, we really need to worry about whether these moments can correctly convey your intention.

These are my personal views and opinions. There may be other reasons, but I still hope to help you.
