In filmmaking, found footage is the use of footage as a found object, appropriated for use in collage films, documentary films, mockumentary films and other works. ==Use in commercial film== Historical found footage is often used in documentary films as a source of primary information, giving the viewer a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. Director and cinematographer Ken Burns is famous for his use inclusion of archival footage in his films. ''Baseball'' (1994), his documentary television series for PBS, incorporates historical footage accompanied by original music or actors reading relevant written documents. Often fictional films imitate this style in order to increase their authenticity, especially the mockumentary genre. In the dramatized and embellished documentary-style film ''F For Fake'' (1975), director Orson Welles borrows all shots of main subject Elmyr de Hory from an old BBC documentary, rather than fabricating the footage himself. Stuart Cooper's ''Overlord'' uses stock footage of the landing on Normandy during World War II to increase realism. The footage was obtained from the Imperial War Museum in the UK.〔(The Criterion Collection: Overlord by Stuart Cooper )〕 Other parts of the film were shot by Cooper, but using old WWII-era film stock with WWII-era lenses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Found footage (appropriation)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
