If you have always wanted to make a documentary film yet have no idea how to start, then this class is for you. You do not need a fancy camera or editing suite. You can use your smartphone and free online apps which we will access in the centre with our computers. The emphasis is on simplicity, storytelling techniques and satisfaction.
You will learn how to create a documentary film from beginning to end and will move through the four stages of documentary production: pre-production, production, post-production, and promotion. The result will be a short film no longer than 15 minutes, created in any genre and style you like - experimental, character-driven, observational, or poetic. The choice is yours. Throughout the course, there will also be discussions on the role of documentary films, recommendations for viewings and encouragement to keep a documentary journal of your film journey.
