For a research project I plan to conduct I want to analyse certain elements of the depiction of war in contemporary film, and I would like to have a look at existing research to see what methodologies are being used. First big research project, help would be greatly appreciated!
Documentaries are considered to be "about real life", truthful, factual, but manipulations are involved on every step of filmmaking. Perception and ideology of filmmaker is an important factor. I wish to know if any previous studies are done in this field?

Hi - I've heard of some documentary character portraits of children where any child who courted the camera was automatically ruled out. These production teams / directors were only interested in children who had no a priori interest in the filming process. The production team’s calculation was that if a subject wants to be filmed, s/he is already trying to ‘sell’ some version of themselves which could make it harder to connect with the individual’s deeper motives or more authentic impulses away from the camera. Does anyone have references to these films / directors?
This process also implies questions about ‘authenticity’ and ‘performativity’ (Bruzzi 2006) and turns on the extent to which the camera catalyses events or reflects what unfolds in the world and has a resonance with this enquiry, but I'm most interested in references to the films themselves. Anyone in London on May 6th & interested in this area, could book onto this event/screening of my current film.

I am interested in investigating spine kinematics in Rugby Union players during scrums (simulated and live scrums) by using video for photogrammetric processing. I am now looking for 4-6 cameras that can be synchronised, have enough resolution and sampling rate to not blur and that are not too expensive (budget: approx. 1500 Australian dollars, or ~1200 USD). Measurements will take place outdoors.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks very much in advance for any help!
