Course Description: In this intensive workshop, photographers learn how to produce multimedia stories that combine photography, video, and audio. The emphasis is on creating compelling subjectdriven narratives by conducting interviews and collecting ambient sound in the field and then merging that reportage with the video and photography that is also collected in the field. Basic technical skills to produce each online film are taught using Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, and Photoshop. Familiarity with the programs in advance of the course is recommended. The use of DSLR cameras is also recommended so that the photography and video are collected using the same equipment. Ethical challenges and considerations for documentary storytelling are discussed. The final project is a documentary-style, journalistically based multimedia video. Prerequisite: Photo II or portfolio review. REGISTER NOW.

Course Description: This course explores how to use still photography as a tool for writing scripts and making narrative films. Still photographs often have implicit narratives; this course helps unlock those narratives and free the photographer’s latent talent for storytelling. We begin with images a photographer has taken, or has in mind, and analyze their components of character and setting to discover the narrative and start creating dialogue and scenes. Recent still photography, short films, and plays are studied as a springboard to exercises in writing. The class also considers how certain influential contemporary filmmakers use a sense of documentary reality to develop narratives from character predicament, using the work of filmmakers Cristi Puiu (The Death of Mr. Lazarescu), Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (Rosetta), and Debra Granik (Winter’s Bone) as examples. The final assignment is the completion of a short narrative film script. REGISTER NOW.
