Abstract

A comprehensive critical overview of the varied uses of music and sound in documentary film, tracing an historical timeline from beginnings to post WWII, thence a thematic study of subsequent key branchings in documentary form. Detailed individual film analyses form the bedrock of the article, underpinned by discussion of significant philosophical and ethical concerns within the varied approaches to documentary 'truth-telling'.
