The film 'Don't Look Back' by D.A. Pennebaker, is one of the greatest 'fly on the wall' documentaries ever made. The film follows singer Bob Dylan as he tours England in 1967. The film has no narration, no interviews with any characters, just simply follows Dylan around London on his encounters. The film captures some epic moments, like Dylan's interview with 'Time' magazine when a heated argument breaks out, the film also captures a moment when a waiter working where Dylan is staying tries to attack him.
The film has a very raw and real feeling, no shots looked faked, or made up. The way the film just follows the characters gives the viewer the feeling of being in the room with the characters.
Fly on the wall style gives a natural feeling to documentaries, which is something i would like to show, for example i think a film is more believable if you can make up your own mind about the story rather than being told what your seeing is real.
