The recipient of many awards, including three Emmys, Wiseman has made more than thirty feature-length documentaries during a career that has spanned five decades. Together, these films provide a fascinating chronicle of American social and institutional life. This book makes available for the first time transcriptions of five of Wiseman's most important films-- \u003ci\u003eTiticut Follies, High School, Welfare, High School II, Public Housing\u003c\/i\u003e--providing all of the dialogue as well as annotations about other aspects of the soundtracks such as music and ambient noise, and notes about editing and camera movement. These scene-by-scene transcripts enable readers to scrutinize the films' complex structural patterns, recurring motifs, editing regimes, and the unscripted dialogue that makes Wiseman's cinema a rich repository of American speech. Editor Barry Keith Grant's critical introduction discusses the importance of sound in Wiseman's documentaries. Liberally illustrated with images from the films, these meticulous transcriptions are accompanied by a bibliography and filmography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Wiseman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520244575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520244573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.40w x 0.94d","brand":"Frederick Wiseman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992210604287,"sku":"9780520244573","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e1ac40e-e75b-4b96-a46f-273f3647a871.jpg?v=1683314668","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/five-films-by-frederick-wiseman-frederick-wiseman-9780520244573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
