Producing the Documentary

Catalog description

Learn about documentary filmmaking by creating a groundbreaking documentary series as you travel the world. As a class, students works on an environmentally and culturally relevant subject to conduct interviews, film, edit, and produce a final film. Prior to and on location, the class is broken up into filming teams for each day—every student has a role in preproduction, production and post production. Past classes have produced award-winning documentaries in locations across the world, including the relationship between people and the Kilauea volcano eruption in Hawaii, the effects of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the result of Cuba at a crossroads.
