Documentary Filmmaking 1

This workshop introduces documentary concepts using in-class instruction and hands-on experience with non-fiction videojournalism. This course is for students interested in creating documentary-style videos. Students will learn the basics about shooting with a DSLR camera, recording audio, and digital editing.
