Cross Cultural Documentary Research & Production in Korea

A production and research class that explores a wide variety of styles and
approaches to the documentary production, creating knowledge base students can
draw on in the production of a short documentary on a topic of their choice
through cross cultural exp erience.

On completion of this course, the students will have intensively engaged in the
study and practice of nonfiction filmmaking and will possess a wide ranging set of
skills and aesthetic capabilities in the pre production, production and post
product ion aspects of the documentary. Students will have a full knowledge of
documentary construction, research, planning, and production techniques.
Students will be able to examine the ethical, creative and collaborative relationship
between filmmakers and s ubjects from other than their own cultures in a creative
way.
Research oriented students will foster their research skills through managing
production schedules, locating and confirming interviews, presenting their subjects
and story ideas to their classm ates and collaborating with production
students/Korean national students. Research students will also coherently organize
their subject material in a formal report (length at instructor’s discretion). The final
outcome of this project for all students will focus on collaboration skills and
management skills while using and challenging the academics and perspectives
that they have acquired in their education.
