Covers The Sexual Language Of Strangers (fiction)
After World War II, U.S. documentarians engaged in a rigorous
rethinking of established documentary practices and histories.
Responding to the tumultuous transformations of the postwar era-the
atomic age, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the
emergence of the environmental movement, immigration and refugee
crises, student activism, the globalization of labor, and the
financial collapse of 2008-documentary makers increasingly
reconceived reality as the site of social conflict and saw their
work as instrumental to struggles for justice. Examining a wide
range of forms and media, including sound recording, narrative
journalism, drawing, photography, film, and video, this book is a
daring interdisciplinary study of documentary culture and practice
from 1945 to the present. Essays by leading scholars across
disciplines collectively explore the activist impulse of
documentarians who not only record reality but also challenge their
audiences to take part in reality's remaking. In addition to the
editors, the volume's contributors include Michael Mark Cohen,
Grace Elizabeth Hale, Matthew Frye Jacobson, Jonathan Kahana, Leigh
Raiford, Rebecca M. Schreiber, Noah Tsika, Laura Wexler, and Daniel
Worden.

This volume provides a history of the most consequential 35mm
motion picture camera introduced in North America in the quarter
century following the Second World War: the Arriflex 35. It traces
the North American history of this camera from 1945 through
1972-when the first lightweight, self-blimped 35mm cameras became
available. Chronicle of a Camera emphasizes theatrical film
production, documenting the Arriflex's increasingly important role
in expanding the range of production choices, styles, and even
content of American motion pictures in this period. The book's
exploration culminates most strikingly in examples found in feature
films dating from the 1960s and early 1970s, including a number of
films associated with what came to be known as the "Hollywood New
Wave." The author shows that the Arriflex prompted important
innovation in three key areas: it greatly facilitated and
encouraged location shooting; it gave cinematographers new options
for intensifying visual style and content; and it stimulated
low-budget and independent production. Films in which the Arriflex
played an absolutely central role include Bullitt, The French
Connection, and, most significantly, Easy Rider. Using an Arriflex
for car-mounted shots, hand-held shots, and zoom-lens shots led to
greater cinematic realism and personal expression.
"All the cutting edge technology I learned in college-typewriters,
film splicers, glue-is now in a museum; the one thing that hasn't
changed is how to tell a visual story."-Bob Dotson Make It
Memorable provides a distinctly different, hands-on introduction to
the craft of visual storytelling. Many texts have been written to
help people master the changing technology of journalism; here, Bob
Dotson teaches readers how best to tell a story once they do. This
second edition of Dotson's classic book offers dozens of new tips
for the digital age and a step-by-step explanation of how to find
and create all kinds of visual stories under tight deadlines. In
addition to new scripts annotated with behind-the-scenes insights
and structural comments, the book includes links to online videos
of all the story examples. There is no other text quite like it.
Additional videos that can be utilized for class assignments and
exercises are available on www.nbclearn.com/makeitmemorable.
