In Documentary Filmmaking, the students learn how to make their own movies that tell the stories of Cambridge and its residents. The students work in groups to create short documentary films about subjects of interest, learning the entire process of creating a movie—from pre-production (including pitching and developing interview questions), to production (including filming and directing), to post-production (including editing and sound design). In this increasingly visual world where videos are an ever-greater presence in daily life, and where making movies is more accessible than ever before, learning how to craft a compelling video with an engaging story is vital.
