Any film is illusion of movement which is created by changing of images placed on paper or celluloid line with exact sequence. Recently, this ordinary finding is the origin of a rather complicated and influential genre, - a documentary film making. A style of visual narration created two centuries ago was changing its functions ever and again. From the very beginning it had been produced for the purpose of entertainment, getting news and cognition, in the previous century it obtained a rather immense load and transformed into a strong weapon for having impact on the masses. Today, the documentary film is associated with knowledge, reliability and credibility. This genre standing with the reality is a focal medium of the society for resolving of problems, reviewing of the issue and getting education. What are the essential and audiovisual features which help to the documentary film making to preserve belief of viewers simultaneously with progressing of the up-to-date media trends, not to lose its authentic appearance and advantages for centuries? A key principle is revealed in searching of the answer on the risen questions – a success of the documentary film depends upon consistency of its composites in mind of viewers. Combined effect of relevant visual images and voice of the content is broad. Using such means of logically changeable expression, the documentary film reaches a larger depth of perceiving by the audience in comparison with other means of expression (Rotha, Documentary Film 1952).
