DOCUMENTARY PRODUCTION

Course Description

This course is designed to introduce the development of documentary film in terms of its history, its genres and its pioneers. Students will also consider the relation between reality and representation, and the distinction between fiction and documentary filmmaking. This course integrates the basic historical, theoretical and practical approaches to the basic techniques of documentary production in different mass media tools. The historical diversification and evolution of the documentary film and television will be emphasized in the course. With documentary demonstrations, discussions of sample documentary films, and out of class assignments, this course provides the fundamental theoretical knowledge and skills that are required for documentary production.
