Documentary training? Books, etc.
Hi all,
Can anyone please recommend any good books on documentary & reality style filmmaking? I was thinking of buying "Making Documentary & Reality Films" by Barry Hempe & maybe "Writing, Directing & Producing Documentary Films" By Alan Rosenthal. Can anybody recommend these titles or any other books? Also are there any good online documentaries or DVD's to watch? Thanks! |

If you're going to only buy one, I recommend Directing the Documentary by Michael Rabiger
I have both Rabiger's and Hempe's books. After helping out on two local documentaries, I prefer Rabiger's book. It's much more detailed and comprehensive. I find myself referring to it more as time passes, even for non-documentary projects. The two books do compliment each other, because of their different styles. Rabiger's book is a text book written by a talented film teacher. In comparison, Hempe's book is more of a series of anecdotal lessons from the field. |

OTOH, Hampe's book is a good, easy to read overview. I didn't fall asleep once. I like to start easy when learning a new topic.

Documentary Dvd Training
Hi
I am currently teaching 'documentary making' at University level. Is there anyone who knows about a dvd course about 'documentary making'? I am looking for something like 'action-cut filmmaking' dvd course, but focused in the documentary environment. I think it will be very helpful for improving my current teaching style. Thanks in advance. |
