Short-form nonfiction filmmaking can be seen across all platforms. Additionally, video has become a critical asset to brands, organizations, movements, campaigns and publishing companies. There is a high demand for producers and filmmakers who can create nonfiction-style videos. This course will teach best practices for developing stories for short form; skills for producing with a mission, brand, or partner; techniques for effective communication with a client or publisher; and guidelines for keeping projects on schedule, on budget and focused on story. We will evaluate the market for video, explore specific case studies and break down the process from development to deliverables. Each student will prepare their own development deck and pitch for a short, nonfiction project.
NOTE: This course is fully online and offered through synchronous sessions during the listed course hours.
