The master thesis Reconstruction Methods in the Documentary Film analyses the various methods of preparation and production of the type of documentary film that is called documentary reconstruction. At the first instance it is trying to separate and define the terms from this field, and to distinct the documentary reconstruction from the feature film and also the documentary method of reconstruction from reportage. It examines in details the reasons for which a director should choose one or the other method. Subsequently specifies the different types of the documentary reconstruction techniques and researches their positive and negative aspects. It takes into account the fact that during the production of any documentary it is very hard to distinguish the differences between the reconstruction and reportage methods and that therefore in practice they often merge. All analyses presented herein are done on the examples of eight selected films from a various periods of the documentary film history, and tend to identify the influences that the technologic development had on them. Therefore this films are somewhere on the border between the reconstruction and reportage documentary, with occasional involvement of feature elements.
