HIST 20209. DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING An introduction to the theory and practice of documentary filmmaking, with an emphasis on the historical documentary. Theory: How do documentaries represent the past? And practice: How do we make our own documentaries? We will study important documentaries and learn the techniques of documentary work, including camera and composition, using still photographs, music and narration, editing, and storytelling. A half-credit course, we will meet for the first half of the semester.
