LKD0147 - Making Documentary Films

Course Description

This 2 week course dives into the world of documentaries and how to capture the real life stories of real people like you. This class will specifically document the experiences that kids have in the InZone program. You will learn film production from professionals as you move around the campus filming InZone classes. You will learn to create a storyboard and receive tips on how to conduct good interviews. You will be involved in all the pre-production activities of a working set including camera techniques and on-location shooting. All participants will participate in a variety of roles both on and off camera ranging from producing and directing to acting and editing. At the end of class, we will premiere the completed film at Harper for family, friends and the public. NOTE: While the goal is to premiere the film the last week of InZone, if more editing is required, we will show it at a later date.
