Synopsis
Alternately focusing on the two main themes of documentary film--recording behavior and recreating past events--this guide discusses how to plan, recognize, and record visual evidence, and how to organize it into a visual argument that brings the documentary to life. It covers getting the idea, how and when to write the script, preproduction planning, selecting the crew and equipment, directing actors and amateurs, and conducting on-camera interviews--all illustrated with stories from actual productions. Finally, Hampe shows why editing is the heart of the documentary process.

Industry Reviews
An experienced filmmaker, writer, and teacher, Hampe hopes to guide the inexperienced through the process of making a documentary, or "reality video," in 25 steps, from idea to post-production. He is meticulous, even including a chapter on informed consent called "Ethics in Making a Documentary," and a most helpful index that provides information on professional associations. Still, despite his use of sound bites and personal anecdotes, one senses that he should have produced a series of videos on the subject instead of writing it all down for its specialized audience of film students, film professionals, and large companies that make informational films. Recommended for specialized collections in communications or film studies. Lisa N. Johnston, Sweet Briar Coll. Lib., Va.
Ives

YA A comprehensive and well-written introduction for aspiring filmmakers. Every aspect of production is covered, from conceptualizing an idea to seeking distributors for the final product. Technical aspects of video and film equipment are touched upon, but are not covered to such a degree that they become laborious. For instance, the subject of lighting, which could easily be a book unto itself, is addressed in a few pages. A filmography of classic documentaries and an appendix describing how to join the International Documentary Association are included. An invaluable tool for future producers and an excellent title to supplement videography and film-production classes. John Kiefman, Fairfax County Public Library, VA
