Author Shannon Walsh explores point-of-view storytelling, writing for non-fiction, and the art of social change documentary. Offering an overview of the documentary filmmaking process - from idea to pitch to a final film and impact campaign - this book provides non-fiction filmmakers with the methods required to find a voice, style, and cinematic approach to documentary filmmaking. Key areas covered include: definition of styles and genres of documentary film; project development and proposal writing; basic elements of documentary storytelling such as interview techniques, verité filming, use of archives, stills, and point of view; the process of preparing and delivering a project pitch; pre-production; and finding the necessary elements to tell a story cinematically. With a specific focus on ethics and character driven storytelling, Walsh shares her own personal insights on talking to strangers, the importance of empathetic listening skills and intuition, and provides useful worksheets that filmmakers can use for their own projects.
