CA 651 is an advanced course designed to further students' documentary storytelling and directing skills. Geared toward creating non-fiction work, the course teaches students to produce documentary films through all three phases of production, considering the practice, aesthetics and ethics involved. The expected outcome for each student is the production of a polished documentary short film. It is required that students entering the course have a working knowledge of basic videography, editing, shot composition and film grammar. At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to:
film standard, documentary interview,s and b-roll;
edit documentaries, mixing voice-over, b-roll, interview, and/or archival media;
analyze non-fiction stories for their potential and impact as documentary films;
receive and provide effective feedback and critique of non-fiction video work;
produce and construct documentary or non-fiction films and videos.
