Documentary Modes of Storytelling in Boyhood  

Huh, Eunhee (Dept. of Film Studies, Dong-Eui University)
Publication Information
Abstract
Contemporary narrative and documentary share across boundaries between the 'actuality' and the 'creative treatment.' The documentary has blended modes of representation from various genre to reflect the world changing. The narrative movies also has applied the historicality of 'evidence' and 'documents' from documentary to obtain the new form of realism. Boyhood shows a differentiated realism to retain both the narrative structure and the documentary temporality, containing 12 years of timeline with the limited artificial space time. Boyhood also takes the analogical concept of 'the dramatization of the actual materials' from the early documentary films.
