Prerequisite(s): FMTV 120 or FMTV 283. This course enables students to move from conception to production and discover the various genres and methods of documentary filmmaking. Students develop conceptual and technological abilities to produce non-fiction documentary films, where in the class they make an observation (verite) film, a portrait, and an overall film either mixing the two assignments with archives, or by using other hybrid techniques using performance or animation. The class is a workshop atmosphere where students interact with each other's work and help to create and learn from each other's individual films.
