THTF 4363 Documentary Film Production

This course will explore the documentary filmmaking process by viewing a wide range of documentary films and discussing their attributes. In this class, students will learn about the history and aesthetics of the documentary form, study documentary genres, and learn how to develop compelling, original content through a creative development process. Through online lectures, viewing film excerpts, and individual production assignments, students will develop a strong understanding of the different approaches available for documentary filmmaking as they master the technical and more subjective aspects related to this genre. Students will produce two short documentary projects and two photo series throughout this course.
