Course overview
This module offers you an opportunity to put theory into practice, cultivating a sense of the history and theory of documentary film alongside the chance to make your own short non-fiction film. The theory part of the module charts the historical development of documentary through the examination of films ranging from the early twentieth century to the present day, with the focus on issues of truth, ethics, technique and creativity. The practical part of the module supports you to create and complete your own short documentary film. Four key issues are central to the modules: 1) locating the truth you want to convey; 2) ensuring that you adhere to an ethical code whilst producing your film; 3) engaging with storytelling, exposition, visual and structuring techniques, including considering how meaning is made in post-production and 4) exploring creative formal approaches appropriate to your film.
