Found Footage (appropriation)
In filmmaking, found footage is the use of footage as a found object, appropriated for use in collage films, documentary films, mockumentary films and other works. Use in commercial film Historical found footage is often used in documentary films as a source of primary information, giving the viewer a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. Director and cinematographer Ken Burns used archival footage in his films.

Stuart Cooper's ''Overlord'' uses stock footage o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
