on skills, while being introduced to different approaches, styles and
filmmaking techniques. On selected weekends, students will have short
classes focusing on specific topics. The goal of the class is to give
students a chance to explore different styles of documentary in a
practical hands-on way, so they may develop a range of skills and a
personal style. In addition, each student will finish the workshop with
a story, treatment, pitch, budget, script and a short film. Students
will leave this class with a clear idea and a plan for the next steps
in their documentary career, as well as a completed documentary in
hand.
Students will be expected to spend time outside of class working on
their projects and in viewing many documentary films. Students will use
