In this course students will learn to develop longer non-fiction films (10-30 minutes) over the course of the semester, researching stories in greater depth, deepening their work with interviews, and learning to develop texture by working with more than one story. Among other things they will learn to develop more contemporary practices in non-fiction filmmaking, working in teams to bring together the elements of filmmaking (multiple locations, multiple narrators). They will learn more about the way the frame is a form of visual thought, how composition and depth-of-field carry meaning, how to further make use of light and sound design, and the importance of pace and tone in editing.
