CINE 148Introduction to Documentary

Catalog

Students will examine in-depth the methods by which non-fiction filmmakers develop, produce and distribute documentary films. Through a series of screenings, lectures, critiques and class discussions, a variety of long- and short-form documentary projects will be analyzed by students in relationship to: story, research, producing, directing, cinematography, editing, sound design, history, aesthetics, ethics and distribution. The class will link with material from each concentration area in Cinema and Television Arts - but through the prism of non-fiction filmmaking.
