This course offers members a thorough hands-on introduction to documentary film production. Making use of the film and video production tools available to the public at CATV (Community Access Television), members will have the opportunity to learn documentary filmmaking techniques, including cinematography, interviewing technique, story structure, script writing, narration, editing, and sound/music design.
Members are encourage to submit ideas or works-in-progress before the first session so the leaders can customize the course to their projects’ needs. The course will be conducted in a collaborative manner, with members “crewing” or assisting each other in the making of their films.
If need be, the course format will be adjusted to a virtual format, in which case equipment will be supplied by or loaned to members, as needed, for remote use. The course will culminate in a public screening and option to share finished (or works-in-progress) for broadcast on CATV.
