How Documentaries Work breaks down the hidden conventions of
documentaries in clear and accessible language for film studies
students and documentary enthusiasts alike. Jacob Bricca, ACE, an
award-winning documentary editor, producer, and director with a
track record of delivering impactful presentations to lay
audiences, provides a behind-the-scenes, under-the-hood view of
what's really going on in the construction of non-fiction films and
television shows. This book presents examples from contemporary
documentaries and docuseries and delivers insights from some of the
most exciting non-fiction filmmakers and craftspeople working
today, including director Steve James (City So Real, Hoop Dreams),
producer Amy Ziering (Allen v. Farrow, The Hunting Ground), editor
Aaron Wickenden (Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain, 20 Feet
from Stardom), and composer Miriam Cutler (RBG, Lost in La Mancha).
Chapters such as "Flow," "Narrative," "Meaning," and "Time" offer a
completely new way of looking at documentary film language, while
others like "Music," "Titles," and "Sound" deliver extraordinary
insights on seemingly ordinary topics. A compact volume written in
plain, easy-to-understand language, this book promises to change
the way you think about non-fiction films and television shows
forever.
