Nowadays, you can hardly imagine how difficult it was to make movies 50 years or 40 years ago; we can use tiny cameras, lighting and external microphone to attain the best quality. Great films were made in the silent era because directors worked with images.
Even with the beginning of the sound era movie were still technological marvel. The process was tiring and tiresome because of the heavy and complicated equipment. During 30's and 60's a lot of great movies were made, though.
Filmmaking and later television were boxed in by rules that everyone knew and stroctly followed. These changes included light, sound effects and story telling.
Grieson was the first one to use the term documentary, which came from French language. It is also known as a non-fiction film and used as a report from people who knew that something had happenend to those who didin't know.
The best filmmakers reached the top by breaking the rules. Some of them put their lives under the risk on battlefields and other dangerous places.
The revolution which brought new changes in film making occured because of the live TV shows. The environment of spontaneuos presentation created by TV changes forever the way we looked at traditional documentary.
The biggest problem in filmmaking occured due to shooting of footage in present time.
To sum it all up, the new technology provided the illusion of recording reality by letting film-makers shoot candid, unstaged, undirected sound footage of people, events and places that had been imposible to get beforehand.
