Notes

The 32 projects that follow anticipate most situations that you will meet as a documentary maker. Some are analytic or developmental tools; others are exercises in a particular technique or style of filmmaking. They represent a thorough preparation in concepts and technique, as well as many opportunities for you to find satisfaction expressing ideas and feelings while you work to gain mastery over your craft.
