Course Objectives: | This course aims to develop an understanding on the basics of documentary journalism and to improve the visual memory of students. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; Students who succeed in this course will be able to have; - developed an understanding on the essential elements of documentary filmmaking - increased their knowledge and bradened their horizons about the specific roles storytelling plays on journalism and documentary-making - grasped the fundamentals of technical opportunities made availabe to documentarists by new media technologies - gained hands-on experience on novel ways of making narrative and / or experimental documentaries - worked in groups to create an interactive documentary |
This course is about exploring and creating productions situated at the intersection of news, documentary and new media. The course will start by a discussion of elements of documentary style, followed by an analysis of novel ways of documentary film-making which make use of opportunities provided by new media. After a discussion of emerging technologies and techniques available to media-makers (such as location-based technologies, transmedia storytelling, crowdsourcing, and interactivity) and their implications for film and television documentary, students will be expected to work in teams to create a series of narrative and experimental documentaries. |
