Intro to Documentary Production Class

Intro to Documentary Production Class

Presented by Docs In Progress at Docs In Progress

The class will give participants the tools to make a short documentary from start to finish, including instruction in screen language and sequencing, hands-on experience with digital video cameras and the Adobe Premiere editing system.  All equipment will be provided. Participants will work in small teams to produce a 3-5 minute documentary profile piece. Story subjects will be assigned to allow participants to focus their energies on learning how to use the equipment, work in a crew, and plan and structure their story.  Story subjects are drawn from people and places in the local community, including nonprofits, small businesses, and artists.

The class takes place on seven consecutive Saturday mornings at Docs In Progress (downtown Silver Spring) and at production sites in the area. Participants will also need to commit an additional 10 hours of time outside of class for production shoots and editing.
