The third edition of Bill Nichols's best-selling text provides an
up-to-date introduction to the most important issues in documentary
history and criticism. A new chapter, "I Want to Make a Documentary:
Where Do I Start?" guides readers through the steps of planning and
preproduction and includes an example of a project proposal for a film
that went on to win awards at major festivals. Designed for students
in any field that makes use of visual evidence and persuasive
strategies, Introduction to Documentary identifies the genre's
distinguishing qualities and teaches the viewer how to read
documentary film. Each chapter takes up a discrete question, from "How
did documentary filmmaking get started?" to "Why are ethical issues
central to documentary filmmaking?" Here Nichols has fully rewritten
each chapter for greater clarity and ease of use, including revised
discussions of earlier films and new commentary on dozens of recent
films from The Cove to The Act of Killing and from Gasland to
Restrepo.
