Additional time info:
IN PREPARATION OF THE COURSE Documentary topics will be Personal Profiles, highlighting the character and work of a featured individual. Participants should come to the first session of class with a person in mind to "pitch" as a documentary subject. Subjects may be participants themselves, relatives, or other members of the local community. An ideal subject will be one who is accessible (i.e., available to be interviewed), and associated with a visually interesting location or activity. Filmmaking is a team experience. Participants will work in teams of 2-3 to produce each profile.
