Documentary Storytelling shows how to make stronger, more compelling documentaries through improved storytelling techniques. It offers a writerly perspective to filmmakers at every stage of production, from concept and treatment to shooting and postproduction. It is intended for the novice as well as the experienced filmmaker and is applicable to a wide variety of documentary styles and forms.
“Story is what turns a subject or an idea into a film; it’s what keeps an audience watching a topic they might never have thought would interest them” . This is what interested me the most since our group havent decided on a way to approach our topic, hence have no story to keep the audience watching. It is important to attract viewers to the subject and being able to do that requires a proper story planned, which I have always struggling with. I guess ideas must be throwing out and combining different views so that the final outcome fits the popular taste of audience.
