Documentary Bootcamp

NC1076-01

Documentary Bootcamp is a seven-week, immersive learning experience covering the fundamentals of documentary filmmaking from pre- to post-production. Participants learn storytelling principles, the aesthetic and technical skills for image making and sound recording, scripting, interviewing, and editing. Knowledge and skills are developed through presentations, discussions, in-class and at-home or in-community exercises, and reviews. Students will plan, shoot, and edit a short documentary film during the class.

Participants can use production equipment provided by MassArt, or their own. Phones are not recommended. For post-production, all registrants are provided free access to Adobe Premiere Pro at MassArt, using their MassArt Net ID to download and set it up on their own computer.

Requirements: General digital literacy is required. Students are expected to use production equipment (not phones) and to know their own equipment’s basic functionality. Students must have a video tripod and an external hard drive to store and edit their media. Please contact the instructor with any questions.
