Description:

This course will introduce students to fundamental tech- niques of and approaches to non-fiction video production. The curriculum emphasizes an integrated and creative ap- proach to documentary production including detailed instruc- tion of technical skills (camera, sound, editing), directo- rial techniques, conceptual issues and aesthetic consi- derations. Through readings, class discussions, screenings of existing documentaries and students' works-in progress, the course will look at the many ways documentarians use video to represent, document, and comment on the world around them. The course will help students develop their own voices as media makers, moving beyond traditional structures and notions of "objectivity" to explore the many ways of approaching documentary as a form of artistic social expression.
