CRAFT OF DOCUMENTARY

Free / Contributory Masterclass, Delhi
NEXT BATCH IN MID-JUNE 2019


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.

In this interactive masterclass, we deconstruct 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.

Duration: 1 day and half day versions, including Q & A
Level: Beginner and Intermediate
This session does not involve any shooting or editing.



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. It helps if you have a keen interest in documentary.
