Documentary Film: A Practical Introduction into Making and Analysing (Seminar)

Inhalt: The goal of this course will be the introduction of the students to the methodology of creative filmmaking, beginning with the theoretical background on documentary history and construction with an overview of the samples of acknowledged historical and contemporary documentaries. Next to the film history, the context of using documentary as a tool for anthropological research will be also addressed. The students will be introduced into the discussion of not only the aesthetic choices of the selected movies, but also the potential uses of the visual projects for addressing particular social problems and the ethical consequences of it. Apart from the skill of differentiating the basic documentary narrative styles, the students will gain a set of practical skills. The theoretical background will be intersecting with the practical assignments of creative storytelling, constructing, scouting and documenting an exemplary character within the area of the workshop, describing the logline and performing a pitching introducing the chosen topic into the forum of the listeners. The final assignment, completed after the course ending and evaluated by the teacher via internet, will be a construction of the 3-minute long documentary-a portrait of a chosen character or social phenomenon.
