A popular way for creators to sell the audience on the authenticity and pinpoint accuracy of their Docudrama, Dramatisation or any other work Based on a True Story (even if just loosely) is to try and painstakingly re-stage famous moments that were caught on film in Real Life. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })To achieve that, the scene would be shot on location or on meticulously recreated sets, utilising period-accurate props, actors and extras of uncannily similar builds as their historical characters, and even the same camera angles (or, just for novelty, completely new angles). Liberal (though suitably camouflaged) use of CGI and other special effects is not unheard of. Needless to say, this can be quite a daunting task, since the maker essentially invites direct comparisons of his work to the real deal. If done well, such recreations can actually pass for legitimate pieces of historical footage themselves (and cause no shortage of confusion). If done poorly, it could just as easily serve to expose the maker's failure to pay enough attention to the minute details of their supposedly faithful re-telling. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It should be noted that the shot in question can end up being re-contextualised to the heart's content of the makers since it's the visual accuracy that counts first and foremost, not necessarily the details surrounding the footage or the event itself. This trope can also apply In-Universe, although Stylistic Suck is certain to abound in the best of cases. Contrast with the Homage Shot, which takes deliberate inspiration from a different piece of footage but doesn't strive to imitate it in any photorealistic manner. Also contrast with Art Imitates Art, if the source is explicitly as fictional as the recreation. Not to be confused with Crime Reconstruction, which involves recreating an event that there isn't real footage of. |

In the Red Dwarf episode "Tikka to Ride", the footage of JFK's assassination was recreated, with Farnborough standing in for Dallas. It was nearly discarded in post-production as Doug Naylor thought they looked a little too real. | |

Saving Mr. Banks: Early in the film, Tom Hanks appears as Walt Disney in a recreation of one of his lead-ins for his weekly television show (specifically, the intro for "An Adventure in the Magic Kingdom"). The final scene also recreates the 1964 world premiere of Mary Poppins at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. | |

The Baader Meinhof Complex thrives on this trope, recreating (amongst other things) well-known footage of the 2nd of June Berlin riots of 1967 (including photos taken of student Benno Ohnesorg moments before and after he was fatally shot by policeman Karl-Heinz Curras), as well as photos taken during the 1972 arrest of Andreas Baader, Jan-Carl Raspe and Holger Meins. It also recreates events like the attempted murder of Rudi Dutschke and the abduction of Hanns-Martin Schleyer based on crime scene photography. | |

The Three Stooges (2000) features restaged routines from several of the Stooges' Columbia shorts. One notable error occurs in the depiction of Curly's career-ending stroke; the film shows him collapsing in the middle of a take while shooting Half Wits Holiday, despite eyewitness accounts saying that it happened while the cameras weren't rolling. | |
