Анотація

The purpose of the research is to analyse the genesis and development of the documentary style in fiction film; to investigate the prerequisites for its emergence, its main characteristics and their evolution, and the reasons and peculiarities of its use by various filmmakers in different historical periods; to examine the influence of the significant trends of documentary, television and amateur video content on its formation and application in fiction films; to identify essential trends in modern fiction filmmaking related to the use of the documentary form and its influence on the emergence of new genres and subgenres of this type of cinema. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive approach, which includes the analysis of literary sources to form a theoretical basis and define key concepts, historical and cultural analysis to study historical, technical, social and cultural prerequisites, the chronological method to establish the causality of the phenomena under study, the case study method, involving stylistic and critical analysis of selected films as the most expressive examples, as well as comparative analysis to compare different films and cinematic trends. Scientific novelty. For the first time, all the most critical aspects related to the formation and evolution of the documentary style in fiction films have been summarised, from the experiments of Soviet avant-garde filmmakers to its use in modern cinema. Based on the study of the most characteristic examples, the standard techniques on which this style is based have been identified and the main reasons and peculiarities of their use. Special attention is given to some prerequisites for the emergence of new genre forms that arose from the exploitation of “documentary” in fiction films. Conclusions. The article identifies the role of the main trends in documentary, television content, and, to some extent, amateur videos in establishing and developing the documentary style in fiction film. The direct and indirect influence of the ideas of Soviet director Dziga Vertov on cinema, where it was applied, has been proven. This style's role in forming the hybrid genre mockumentary has been analysed.
