An Introduction to Social Documentary

Trailer

This CD-Rom will invite the viewer to think about the documentary film and its various forms. It is constructed to initiate discussion and does not set out to be taken as gospel, but to stimulate debate and thought about the fundamentals of the documentary spirit - to explore actual people and actual situations.

By concentrating on the topic of 'social documentary' the CD-Rom will use case study materials to look at the various documentary schools, documentary construction and the use and indeed relevance of documentary in the 21st century.

But most of all this CD-Rom is meant to be entertaining.
