Documentary Filmmaking Course
This exciting new course will take you through the history of documentary filmmaking giving you opportunities to look at the development of the genre from the early British Documentary Movement of Grierson and Jennings through Cinéma vérité and onto popular contempory documentary filmmakers like Michael Moore and Nick Bloomfield. The course aims to help students explore styles and issues surrounding documentary filmmaking which will allow them to develop their own filmmaking style before moving onto creating a short documentary of their own.

The course will include history and theory sessions, techniques in using cameras, sound equipment and lighting as well as helping students develop a full understanding of documentary filmmaking construction. This will be coupled with the development, planning and research needed to manage a documentary film shoot.

Post production will include editing on Adobe Premiere CS Pro software and will conclude with a screening of work at the end of the course.

All equipment for the course will be provided. It is advised but not essential that prospective students have some prior knowledge of filmmaking whether that is production and/or editing.
