Learning Outcomes

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

Course Content

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.
