Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0229 - Non-Fiction Film: The Music Documentary

This is an introductory course for students who would like to explore their interest in documentary practice. Through a combination of screenings, lectures, readings and technical workshops, we will explore a critical/historical overview of this genre and incorporate our knowledge and experience to produce individual or collaborative projects in a variety of "modes of representation". Projects need not be restricted to a particular medium; in fact, students will be encouraged to explore the ways in which film, video, and/or animation can be utilized together. The emphasis in our screenings will be geared towards films that profile musicians, composers, and the music making experience.

Time and Narrative This course is fully remote. Lab fee: $65. In this course, students can expect to spend 8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
