Cinema Verite, also known as observational cinema, is the
manipulation of the camera to reveal truth or highlight subjects hidden behind
crude reality. It is basically direct cinema like filming, just without the
narrator’s voice-over. To reveal that truth aspect in Cinema Verite, some filmmakers
within the field made an obvious presence between the filmmaker and camera. It
is important to display acknowledgement of the camera because it is the filming
of real objects, people and events taking place in a confrontational way. I can
see how this all relates to our project working in class because our object is
to film real life occurrences so that there is no deception seen or thought of
between the viewer and the filmmaker.
