"The Thin Blue Line" is a masterpiece that marks the birth of the "New Documentary Film". He uses a fictional method to "really reproduce" the scene of the police being shot.
First of all, the title of "The Thin Blue Line" gives people a literary style, full of poetry. However, this film is about judicial injustice. The whole film is depressing and has nothing to do with "literature", which forms a strong contrast.
The first shot at the beginning of the film is the city at night, a dome building surrounded by scattered lights, giving the audience a depressing and restless atmosphere. There is no narration in the film. The progress of the story depends on the narration of the interviewees. Adams, Harris, police officers, judges, witnesses, lawyers, and witnesses are all interviewees because of their different roles and importance in the case. Also different, so their narration time is also different. Most of the scenes in the film are night, and Dallas under the night is full of depression and anxiety. No matter what the scene is, it gives people a feeling of eerie, mysterious and unpredictable, creating a scene full of crisis for the audience.
Morris, the director of "The Thin Blue Line", made an unconventional performance of the "police murder" incident. The film established a black tone at the beginning, and the whole film was like a "detective movie". The interviewee's narration and some scenes from the case make up the entire documentary. The narration without narration is all the interviewee's narration of the case. When shooting the interview subject, always place the character in the middle of the screen, and use close-up shooting. Only when shooting the interview subject will some bright colors appear on the screen, which plays a role of emphasis, while other parts of the film are It's all black and white, full of depression. For the materials and details of some cases, the director adopted the method of close-up shots, and for some text materials, some also adopted the shooting method of continuous enlargement, emphasizing the importance of the details of these materials.
