This unit immerses students in the theoretical, ethical and creative elements of nonfiction filmmaking. Exploring the evolution of documentary, from early newsreels and Cinema Verite to mockumentary, docu-drama and fact/fiction hybrids, this elective reveals the key techniques needed to take a documentary concept from page to screen. Through screenings, lectures and workshops, students learn how to research, script, shoot, edit, pitch and distribute a nonfiction film, and how to interview and direct non-actors: gaining an advanced conceptual and practical understanding of this timely and constantly evolving form.
