A documentary is a factual film or television program that uses real footage and interviews to report on a particular subject. The purpose is to document real events with evidence. John Grierson coined the term "documentary" and produced some of the earliest examples in the 1930s and 1940s like Night Mail and Drifters, which captured real postal workers and fishermen without acknowledgment from the subjects. Documentaries can take various forms including docusoaps that follow people over time, docudramas that recreate real events, or mixed formats that combine interviews and archival footage with narration.

A Brief History of Documentary Film Practice
Documentary films began in the 1890s as "actualities" filmed by the Lumiere Brothers in France. In the 1920s, Nanook of the North was considered the first feature-length documentary, though it staged some scenes. John Grierson helped establish documentary film as a way to document real life in Britain in the 1920s-1930s. Technological advances like synchronized sound and mobile cameras in the 1940s-1960s allowed for more liberated filmmaking styles like Direct Cinema. The 1970s-1990s saw the rise of color films and TV funding. Digital technology since the 1990s has democratized documentary filmmaking by lowering costs and allowing for more personal, subjective styles of filmmaking and new modes
The history of documentary films
Documentary films were first known as 'actuality' films in the late 1800s, showing real events like boxing matches. In the early 1900s, doctors created surgical films for scientific and educational purposes. Travelogue films from 1900-1920 documented exotic places. Propaganda films of the 1920s-1940s deliberately aimed to persuade audiences of political views. Cinéma-vérité films of the 1950s-1970s used lighter cameras for more candid location filming. Political documentaries of this era exposed issues like the 1973 Chilean coup. Modern documentaries cover past events, research topics, and historical periods through reenactments.
History of documentary
The history of documentary began in 1922 with Nanook of the North, directed by Robert Flaherty. In 1926, John Grierson coined the term "documentary" and led the British Documentary Film Movement in the 1930s-1940s, aiming to educate citizens. Direct Cinema originated in the 1950s-1960s in North America, using cameras to record events as they happened without staging. Modern documentaries have found box office success with films like Super Size Me and An Inconvenient Truth, though funding for documentary production remains a challenge despite lower budgets.
History of documentaries
The history of documentary film began in 1895 with the Lumiere brothers creating the first documentary by capturing unedited clips of real life. Major developments included Robert Flaherty's 1922 film Nanook of the North, which was the first to use creative interpretation of reality. In the 1930s, John Grierson pioneered the poetic-realistic style with films like Nightmail. The 1950s-60s saw the direct cinema movement aim to present events directly and unmediated, influenced by lightweight cameras. Modern social issue documentaries still draw from these traditions, though some filmmakers now use documentary techniques to intentionally mislead audiences in mockumentaries.

The document traces the evolution of documentaries from their origins in 1895 to modern times. It discusses early actuality films from 1895 showing real events. In 1922, Nanook of the North was released, which was the first feature-length documentary and established conventions like staging events. Direct cinema emerged in the 1950s-60s aiming to directly present events without mediation. At the same time, cinema verite developed in France using techniques like handheld cameras and location filming to seem more realistic. Mockumentaries have existed since the 1960s but became more common in the 1980s, using documentary styles and codes to trick audiences into thinking the content is factual when it is not.
5 different research documents about documentarians
The document profiles four documentarians - Michael Moore, Nick Broomfield, Liz Bonin, and David Attenborough.

The Lumière Brothers held the first public screening of actuality films in 1895, showing short minute-long films without editing of real events like a train arriving. While not called documentaries at the time due to the term not being used until 1926, their films were limited by the technology of the period. The 1922 film Nanook of the North by Robert Flaherty is considered the first documentary, though it staged some scenes after original footage was lost in a fire. In 1930, John Grierson produced Nightmail about the Nightmail train, applying the term "documentary" he coined to a film that poetically documented its subject in a realistic style.
The history of cinema
The history of cinema can be broken down into seven ages:
1) The Pioneering Age from 1896-1912 saw the development of early motion picture technology and short films without narratives.
2) The Silent Age from 1913-1927 featured the emergence of Hollywood and use of techniques like camera movement to develop stories.
3) The Transition Age from 1928-1932 was when films moved from silent to adding synchronized sound.
4) The Hollywood Studio Age from 1932-1946 was dominated by major studios producing genre films.
5) The Internationalist Age from 1947-1959 saw the decline of studios and rise of challenges from foreign films and television.
6) The New Wave Age from 1960-1980 was defined

The history of documentary film began in 1895 with the Lumiere brothers creating actualities, short unedited clips capturing life. In 1922, Nanook of the North established the more familiar documentary format, with scenes planned for drama and excitement. John Grierson later coined the term "documentary" and emphasized poetic elements of film through films like Nightmail. This led to the direct cinema movement in the 1950s-60s, aiming to present social and political issues in a direct, unmediated way using smaller cameras. Similar techniques were used in cinema verite films to convey a sense of unmodified reality.
Development of editing

Documentary Genres Powerpoint
Documentaries are factual films or programs that document aspects of reality for instruction or historical record. John Grierson is considered the father of British and Canadian documentary film. In 1926, he coined the term "documentary" and established their purpose as informing, educating, and entertaining audiences. John Corner later identified the key elements of documentaries as observation, interviews, exposition, mise-en-scene, and dramatization to record actual events and convey meaning through techniques like editing.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
