It stands in sharp contrast to books of academic film criticism and handbooks on visual research methods, being based extensively on concrete examples from the author’s own filmmaking experience. The book places particular emphasis on observational filmmaking and the ways in which this approach is distinct from other forms of documentary. It offers both practical insights and reflections on what it means, in both emotional and intellectual terms, to attempt to represent the lives of others. The book makes clear that documentary cinema is not simply a matter of recording reality, but of artfully organising the filmmaker’s observations in ways that reveal the complex patterns of social life.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: David MacDougallGenre: Films & TVBook Series: Anthropology, Creative Practice and EthnographyTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 576gRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
