Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, I explore the way experimental documentary film practitioners may utilize the methodology of the bricoleuse in order to create films. I refer to my experiments in documentary film practice – mediations of memory, place and subjectivities – where I deploy hybrid filmic strategies of critical realism and fictional enactment. The bricoleuse may use footage obtained through pocket cameras, mobile devices, stills, archive or found footage – including their own past films, analogue and digital – using a digital database to store footage and to provide her with an endless storehouse of digital documents that can easily be accessed and reused in infinite ways to create new practice [Baron 2014. The Archive Effect. London: Routledge, 142]. I analyse in particular My Private Life II [Daniels, Jill. 2015. dir. My Private Life II. UK. https://vimeo.com/139077147] where I used the footage from an earlier film, My Private Life [Daniels, Jill. 2014. dir. My Private Life. UK. https://vimeo.com/104385249], to create a split screen view and my short documentary essay film, Breathing Still [Daniels, Jill. 2018. dir. Breathing Still. UK. https://vimeo.com/253291495] (shown at The Mobile Innovation Network and Association [MINA] in 2018), a short epistolary film addressed to Rosa Luxemburg and shot on a pocket camera (Canon G9X).

拼凑的方式：纪录片制作的实验

摘要在这篇文章中，我探讨了实验性纪录片从业者如何利用拼凑的方法来创作电影。我指的是我在纪录片实践中的实验——记忆、地点和主观的中介——在那里我运用了批判现实主义和虚构情节的混合电影策略。小作坊可以使用通过袖珍相机、移动设备、剧照、档案或发现的镜头获得的镜头——包括他们自己过去的电影，模拟和数字——使用数字数据库来存储镜头，并为她提供一个无尽的数字文档库，这些文档可以以无限的方式轻松访问和重复使用，以创造新的实践[Barron 2014。档案效应。伦敦：劳特利奇，142]。我特别分析了《我的私生活II》[Diels，Jill.2015。我的私生活二。英国。https://vimeo.com/139077147]我在那里使用了早期电影《我的私生活》中的镜头[Diels，Jill.2014。我的私生活。英国。https://vimeo.com/104385249]，以创建一个分屏视图和我的纪录片短片《呼吸静止》[Danies，Jill.2018。目录。呼吸静止。英国。https://vimeo.com/253291495]（2018年在移动创新网络和协会[MINA]上放映），这是一部写给罗莎·卢森堡的书信体短片，用袖珍相机（佳能G9X）拍摄。
