Documentary Production

These Subjects teach the practical skills of digital video production in the documentary context including:

• Forms and styles of documentary films

• interviewing skills and techniques
• researching, planning and pitching a documentary proposal
• location sound recording, camera operation and coverage
• digital video sound and picture editing with Avid Media Composer

The Digital Production Subject is delivered in 14 weekly three-hour classes, while Digital Editing is a two-day intensive introduction to Avid Media Composer. It is expected that students will use supervised workshop time and downtime in the editing suites to practise their skills and complete set exercises.
