IDS 3210 - Exploring the Documentary Form (3)

When Offered: Fall
GEN ED: Integrative Learning Experience (Theme: “How We Tell Stories”)
The course offers students a chance to learn the fundamentals of non-fiction story telling. Students will research a topic, and then develop a video, audio, or photographic documentary that uses their research to tell a compelling story. During this course, students will learn a range of techniques that bridge academic disciplines: how to use both primary and secondary sources for research, writing skills to structure their documentaries, visual communication techniques to translate their writing into images, and editing skills to clearly communicate their story.
