Craft of Documentary

CRAFT OF DOCUMENTARY
Free / Contributory Workshop, Delhi

Many people think that documentaries are merely about an "issue" and the "message". However, even as the documentary engages with the world around us, it is also an art form like other kinds of cinema.

This workshop deconstructs a documentary to reveal how elements of film-craft – cinematography, sound design, editing and the narrative structure – all work towards creating meaning, mood and impact.

Please note that this workshop does not involve any shooting or editing.

Duration: 3-4 hours, including Q & A
Level: Beginner and Intermediate

WHO IS IT MEANT FOR?

Aimed at all documentary film enthusiasts; media and journalism students; student film societies; and anyone who engages with documentaries as part of their work-profile, like people in the development sector and NGOs.

Age: 15+ years. Working knowledge of English.
