Documentary film production Switzerland
Record reality
Documentaries show topics and contexts in a structured form and combine research with comprehensible presentation.
For media, organizations and filmmakers
Film documentation of topics, processes and social contexts
A documentary is a non-fictional film format that presents events, topics or realities of life in a structured way. The media, organizations and filmmakers use it to show connections and present content in an understandable way.
A good documentary film has a clear dramaturgy, a comprehensible visual direction and a tone that provides orientation. Interviews, observations and editing must be coordinated in such a way that the topic and course of events remain recognizable without additional explanations.
OSLO STUDIOS produces documentary films with a structured process for research, shooting, interviewing, editing and sound recording. Image and sound are created on location or in the studio and are closely adapted to the content and design requirements.
Typical components include theme briefing, shooting planning, location shooting, interviews, integration of archive material, image editing, color correction, sound editing and the production in the required formats for festivals, the web or internal communication.
