COM-3221: Environmental Documentary Filmmaking

Documentaries can be forceful tools in shaping environmental awareness. Very often they focus on the human impact on our natural world both in negative and positive ways. It no longer takes more than a smart phone to record environmental events from soil erosion to the devastating string of disasters in recent years that have plagued this small and, as we’ve all come to know, fragile planet. This class will focus on how to use documentary filmmaking to address the world within our own sphere. Students will study the issues at hand, then gather material and produce a short documentary focusing on a specific environmental concern. We will focus on story structure and simple ease-to-access media tools to achieve this end result.
