COM 315 Documentary Filmmaking
Contemporary documentary filmmaking is built upon a tradition of investigation, discovery, and advocacy. Students will produce their own documentary films by first reflecting on the history and philosophies of the craft, then applying modern production techniques to actualize the films. Production skills will include cinematography, audio acquisition, lighting, and digital editing. This course will also take a close look at work that has made an impact on its audiences and at the filmmakers who produced it.
