Aesthetics of Editing November '24
Documentary filmmaking is an adventure. Docs are a confluence of art, storytelling, journalism, communication, education, and propaganda--in the original sense of the word--to propagate an idea or story. In fiction, a director creates a world over which they exercise control--as much control as possible. In non-fiction, we enter a world over which we have little or no control. Thus begins our journey. Although documentary has numerous sub-genres, most docmakers agree on this: that we seek to understand, uncover, ruminate about, meditate on, or otherwise consider, the truth through film. This class will attempt to distill—edit—a lifelong vocation and art form into 7 hours.
Our focus will be on documentary, though documentary is a deep and wide world that includes many sub-genres, including the portrait, histories, films that make an argument, non-narrative, cinema verité, personal film, the music film, etc.
