COMM 366 - Documentary Filmmaking |
An advanced course that engages students in the production of non-fiction film.

Lectures and critiques encourage the analysis of non-fiction storytelling’s place in today’s society. Working in teams, students conceive an original idea and demonstrate competence by organizing and creating a non-fiction film. Additional emphasis is placed on the role of research, marketing, and distribution of these films. Demonstrations, guest lectures, field trips, screenings, and discussions supplement the study of this genre.
