Course Description

Part-Time Six-Month Documentary Filmmaking is a course which builds fundamental factual filmmaking skills and focuses on the specifics of the documentary genre, such as filming everyday life and real people.

  • Part-time six-month documentary course (Wednesdays 7pm-10pm and alternate Saturdays 10am-5pm)
  • For students who are passionate about documentary but require a flexible part-time schedule
  • Write, produce and edit your first documentary film
  • Suitable for beginners, no previous experience is required.
  • We recommend this course to journalists and photographers, as their previous experience lends itself towards this screen specialism.

During the course you will:

• Look at the history and evolution of documentary – examine historical and recent examples of successful documentaries and analyse today’s marketplace

• Understand the technical aspects of screen content creation: camera, lighting, editing and sound

• Develop ideas for documentary – researching a subject, writing a proposal and creating a treatment

• Learn how to plan and control your productions and work with real people rather than actors

• The course culminates in the production of your short documentary film
