FILM 000/3402 - Documentary Production (3 cr.)

 

Description
This course develops skills and techniques for producing documentary film, including planning, shooting, interviewing, lighting, sound recording, and editing. Since the course gives only a brief, accompanying overview of the history, theory, ethics, and modalities of nonfiction film, it is required that students take FILM 3140 - Documentary Film in advance of, or at the same time as, taking FILM 3402. Group projects, screenings, readings, tutorials, lectures, and discussions prepare students to produce their own documentary films.
