Ron Osgood
Course Description: This is your
opportunity to develop a half-hour documentary that has the chance
to be produced in spring 2009 for possible broadcast on WTIU.
The class will screen film and television documentaries, analyzing
how individuals, cultures, and events are described in these
programs. The class will discuss a variety of documentary
genres and examine the varied roles of the documentary producer
as a historian, explorer, social activist, journalist and entertainer.
In addition, individual students will research,
develop and prepare a proposed program treatment. Some
of these proposals will be selected for production in T435 (Spring
09).
This is an authorized course that requires T283 or permission
of instructor.
While not a required prerequisite for T435 Documentary Production,
it is highly recommended.
