CINE 551 Fiction / Documentary Hybrids

This graduate production workshop explores the line that separates documentary and narrative media. Students in the class will examine the works of documentarians who are using fictional elements and narrative techniques in their work to call into question concepts of truth and reality, and to expand the definition of documentary.

Concepts covered will include narrative shooting and editing techniques, documentary camerawork, interview techniques, research, scripting, recreations, and working with actors and subjects. Each student will produce media works that have factual and fictional elements, and which challenge the traditional definition of documentary.
