FILM 398 - Directing the Documentary I

Credits: 3
Directing the Documentary I & II are the principal courses in the Documentary Film program. Taken consecutively, it is a year-long execution drawing upon all the skills and experience that students have acquired thus far. Directing requires filmmakers to perform a broad and cumulative array of abilities and instincts to perform their role as the creative lead on a film. Students learn the art of directing through an intense study and analysis of contemporary documentary films, while working in small teams toward the goal of making a substantial film by the end of the year. A significant highlight that occurs during the course is a field trip to a major film festival, where students will spend several days immersing themselves in the art, culture, and business of cinema.
