TVDJ 5240 - Documentary Filmmaking (3 cr.)
Description
This course will introduce long-format non-fiction storytelling and examine what makes this type of visual storytelling different from shorter news reports and feature reports. Students will look into the process of documentary filmmaking and its history, what long format non-fiction means, its boundaries, both formal and ethical, as well as the various tools available to a non-fiction storyteller. During the course, students will examine the wide array of documentaries covering political, cultural, historical, social, environmental topics, and more. Because it is storytelling with picture and sound, these elements will be utilized to make a cohesive and convincing argument. Storytelling techniques will culminate in each student’s production of a non-fiction film.
