An Assessment of the New Media Documentary

Abstract

Digital technology has influenced the structure of documentary film. Despite the positive effects of digital technology on documentaries, there are also negative effects on it.Today, there is a trend in the production of documentary films that cannot be called documentaries; various videos are perceived as documentary films. This kind of effect of digitalization on documentary film raises the possibility that the main features of the documentary film may be damaged. New media documentary; undoubtedly, new forms are being tried and new narrative possibilities are presented. With new media documentary films; features such as innovation, new forms of expression, diversity in subjects, new approaches and more creativity joining the process are called positive features. The 'main material' of the documentary film is the 'document', and such basic structural characteristics should not be replaced by technology or loss of genre’s chracteristics under the name of technological development. In this study, a descriptive analysis of the general characteristics of the new media documentary is being conducted and the documentary film The Shirt on Your Back (2014), which includes a social issue, is discussed as a sample. Everett Rogers has identified three key characters in the new media, and the documentary film that focuses on the film represents these three characters. The new media documentary, The Shirt on Your Back (2014), has been revealed to represent the new media documentary production at a high level in terms of format and content.
