Although nonfiction film may have captured imaginations, many viewers enter and leave theaters with a nanve concept of "truth" and "reality"-for them, documentaries are information sources. But is truth or reality readily available, easily acquired, or undisputed? Or do documentaries convey illusions of truth and reality? What aesthetic means are used to build these illusions? A documentary's sounds and images are always the product of selection and choice, and often underscore points the filmmaker wishes to make. Crafting Truth illuminates the ways these films tell their stories; how they use the camera, editing, sound, and performance; what rhetorical devices they employ; and what the theoretical, practical, and ethical implications of these choices are. Complex documentary concepts are presented through easily accessible language, images, and a discussion of a wide range of films and videos to encourage new ways of thinking about and seeing nonfiction film. 606 $aDocumentary films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDocumentary films$xProduction and direction 615 0$aDocumentary films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDocumentary films$xProduction and direction. 676 $a070.1/8 676 $a070.18 700 $aSpence$b Louise$01486667 701 $aNavarro$b Vinicius$01486668 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789979303321 996 $aCrafting truth$93706240 997 $aUNINA
