    <![CDATA[Tens of thousands of readers have benefited from Michael Rabiger's classic text on documentary filmmaking, now updated to reflect the revolutionary switch to digital video equipment and software. You will learn how to research and focus a documentary film or video idea, develop a crew, direct the crew, maintain control during shooting, and oversee postproduction. Practical work is emphasized, with dozens of exercises and questionnaires to help focus your ideas and give you hands-on practice. The documentary is treated as an important genre in its own right, as well as a useful prelude to directing feature films. <br/><br/>The fourth edition is a significant update. The book's emphasis has always been on concrete steps you can take to become a documentary filmmaker, and there are loads of new projects to help, along with assessment tables that allow you to gauge your progress.

    <![CDATA[The Third Edition of Directing the Documentary, like the previous two, guides the reader through the process of making a work for the screen.  This includes the real problems of researching and focusing a documentary film or video idea, of developing a crew, of directing the crew and participants, and of maintaining control during shooting.  It guides the reader through the complex evolutionary process of post-production, when the film's true characteristics can really begin to emerge and assert themselves.<br/><br/> 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.  The author, a veteran filmmaker and teacher shares anecdotes from his own professional experience where they usefully illustrate ideas, principles, or pitfalls.<br/><br/>*A Focal classic<br/>*Includes examples from well-known films and projects<br/>*Features projects that guide the reader through all phases of creating a professional-quality documentary]]>
