Book Reviews of Documentary Storytelling, Second Edition: Making Stronger and More Dramatic Nonfiction Films
Book Review: great text
Summary: 5 Stars
I am thoroughly impressed with Ms. Bernard's book and I intend to use it to teach my Documentary Filmmaking course this fall. It is rare to find a book so full of wisdom and so well-written. The emphasis on storytelling rather than production how-to is in line with the way I intend to teach. Thanks for this gem.

Summary of Documentary Storytelling, Second Edition: Making Stronger and More Dramatic Nonfiction Films
Documentary Storytelling offers a unique in-depth look at story and structure as applied not to Hollywood fiction, but to films and videos based on factual material and the drama of real life. With the growing popularity of documentaries in today's global media marketplace, demand for powerful and memorable storytelling has never been greater. This practical guide offers advice for every stage of production, from research and proposal writing to shooting and editing, and applies it to diverse subjects and film styles, from v??rit?? and personal narrative to archival histories and more.Filled with real-world examples drawn from the author's career and the experiences of some of today's top documentarians, Documentary Storytelling includes special interview chapters with Ric Burns, Jon Else, Nick Fraser, Susan Froemke, Sam Pollard, Onyekachi Wambu and other film professionals. This second edition has been brought up to date with a more international focus, a look at lower-budget independent filmmaking, and consideration of newer films including Super Size Me, Murderball, So Much So Fast, and When the Levees Broke.
