About the Book

Documentary Media: History, Theory, Practicefacilitates the study of documentary media, its changing forms, and diverse social functions. Fox provides balanced  and accessible coverage of the  historical, critical, and the practical aspects of documentary media without mandating specialized skills sets in students or access to costly technology.   For practitioners and students alike, Documentary Media lays out fundamental concepts and production processes needed to contribute to the contemporary production of non-fiction media in the digital age. Each chapter engages students by challenging traditional assumptions about documentary form and function, posing critical and creative questions, and offering historical and contemporary examples. Additionally, each chapter closes with an “Into Practice” section that assists readers in applying the chapter’s concepts. Fox aims to help the student establish a complete treatment, aesthetic plan, and pre-production strategy for their own documentary project.
