Documentary Structure and Storytelling: The Essentials of Documentary Storytelling

Documentary Structure and Storytelling: The Essentials of Documentary Storytelling

Presented by Docs In Progress at Docs In Progress

Just because documentary filmmaking is about recording actuality, filmmakers still need to pay the same attention to visual storytelling as you would with any fiction film. In this workshop, you will learn more about the tools of screen grammar and sequencing, how to break down a situation into the right shots, and deliver footage that makes sense (and saves you time and money) in the edit room.
