In this course, students explore the power of documentary filmmaking as a tool for storytelling, persuasion, and social change. They analyze a range of documentary styles, from observational to participatory, examining how filmmakers use cinematography, editing, sound, and narrative structure to shape meaning. Through practical projects, students will develop their own short documentaries, learning key skills in scripting, filming, and editing. This unit encourages critical thinking about media representation and challenges students to create compelling, authentic narratives that inform and engage audiences.
