About the Book

A comprehensive guide for documentary filmmakers at all stages. In this third edition, in response to technological advances and the demands of cable television stations, Alan Rosenthal reconsiders how one approaches documentary filmmaking in the 21st century. Foregoing theory and hardware, Rosenthal tackles the day-to-day problems from initial concept through distribution, emphasizing the research and writing approach. He offers examples of interviewing, narration writing, and the complexities of editing. The text explains how to write, direct and produce the documentary, whether film or video. This third edition also covers nonlinear editing techniques, a complex budget example and its analysis, and a chapter on "staying alive", which details how European and US stations approach documentary and how the Internet can help filmmakers find new markets. A new chapter has been added to stress the growing genre of family films.

About the Author :
Alan Rosenthal was born in England, studied law at Oxford, and has made over sixty films for television. His books include New Challenges for Documentary, Why Docudrama? Fact-Fiction on Film and TV, andJerusalem: Take One! Memoirs of a Jewish Filmmaker. He received a Peabody Award for Journalism and the International Documentary Association's award for scholarship. Currently he divides his time among projects in Jerusalem, London, and New York. His most recent film is Adolf Eichmann: The Secret Memoirs.

Review :
"I can hardly praise this book enough. Should every documentary student read it? Certainly. Should every documentary filmmaker, no matter how experienced they are, read it? Certainly."—Film Quarterly "Just as Rosenthal's books and films are about ideas, so his book is about 'above the neck' (as distinct from 'hands-on' skills). . . . The book is a major contribution to the literature of film teaching."—International Documentary "Any writer entertaining thoughts of turning computer work to camera work would do well to read this classic guide."—Clockwatch Review: A Journal of the Arts
