Fly on the wall is a style of documentary-making used in film and television production. The name derived from the idea that events are seen candidly, as a fly on a wall might see them. In the purest form of fly-on-the-wall documentary-making, the camera crew works as unobtrusively as possible; however, it is also common for participants to be interviewed, often by an off-camera voice. The format has also been spoofed, notably in 2001 BBC comedy The Office, based at a paper merchant in Slough.

  • Mosca-sul-muro (in inglese fly-on-the-wall) è uno stile impiegato nella realizzazione di documentari cinematografici o di produzioni televisive. Il nome deriva dall'idea che gli eventi possano essere osservati senza che la presenza dell'osservatore venga percepita dai soggetti filmati, esattamente come se ad osservarli fosse una mosca posata sul muro. Nella più pura tecnica documentaristica basata sullo stile mosca-sul-muro, le riprese vengono effettuate in modo da dare l'illusione dell'assenza della macchina da presa. Tuttavia, è comune l'uso di interviste, spesso condotte da una voce fuori campo. (it)

  • Fly on the wall is a style of documentary-making used in film and television production. The name derived from the idea that events are seen candidly, as a fly on a wall might see them. In the purest form of fly-on-the-wall documentary-making, the camera crew works as unobtrusively as possible; however, it is also common for participants to be interviewed, often by an off-camera voice. Decades before structured reality shows became popular, the BBC had broadcast fly-on-the-wall film Royal Family (a 1969 documentary produced in association with ITV), while 1974's The Family, is said to be the earliest example of a reality TV docusoap on the BBC. In the late 1990s, Chris Terrill's docusoap series The Cruise made a star of singer and TV personality Jane McDonald, while Welsh cleaner Maureen Rees became popular after her appearances on BBC One's Driving School. Other British examples include Dynamo: Magician Impossible and Channel 4's Educating... series, while in the United States popular examples include American Factory, Cops, Deadliest Catch, Big Brother and Weiner, a film about a political sex scandal which developed during a mayoral election in New York. The format has also been spoofed, notably in 2001 BBC comedy The Office, based at a paper merchant in Slough. (en)
