Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Up-to-date with examples of significant new films and new projects, it is written in conversational, non-technical language, treating the reader as a colleague in search of clearly explained knowledge.

tool of inquiry and self-expression. Covers the entire filming
process, from conception through postproduction, and discusses such
topics as cinema verite techniques, handheld and tripod modes,
current issues in documentary and editing theory, and authorial
identity. Includes numerous line drawings, diagrams, and black-and-
white photographs, as well as a list of international film schools.
Appropriate for both beginners and professionals.
