Journal Title: Молодь і ринок - Year 2018, Vol 157, Issue 2
Abstract
The article is devoted to one of the most relevant cinema and television genre – mockumentary, directly to its development and to samples in the cinema and on television. Mockumentary (from English “to mock” and “documentary”) – a genre that has an imitation of documentary, falsification and mystification. The development of the genre from the first finished samples (mid-twentieth century). And it continues to follow the main tendencies of modern art, in which, thanks to the latest technologies, a virtual reality is created that replaces reality as such. Accordingly, the line between the actual fact and artistic fiction is completely leveled. The emotionality and intellectuality of cinematography have been studied using the example of the cinematographic and television mockumentary genre (pseudo documentary films). The game postulates and proves the game nature of mockumentary and the presence in it of basic game principles inherent in both art in general and cinematography in particular, the causes of the origin of the psychology of deception and the properties of the game in art are analyzed. The main idea of the genre of mockumentary is to create a “different” life, based on the principles of delusion and play. The twentieth century taught people to be deceived and feel comfortable at the same time. Investigating the genre of mockumentary from the point of view of the game, it can be argued that this is a kind of “re-shaping” of reality (that is, the transformation of reality into images through which another reality opens up to us). Directors understood this natural process, understood the psychology of deception, the properties of the game and invented a new technology with their methods, techniques, successful tricks. They have learned to create their own “almost real world” for the audience. The game nature of art and the genre of mockumentary have a common property – the transformation of the external world. New views of the genre of mockumentary open up opportunities to find the emotionality and intellectuality of the cinema.
