Documentaries are the creative selecting, organizing and presenting of factual material. In this class, we will explore how recorded material (images, sounds and dialogue) from the real world and real people become the ‘words’ we use to shape a documentary story. Students will learn how to conduct an interview, a fundamental component to documentary filmmaking. This process allows the storyteller behind the camera to establish a relationship with a real life character. Students will be trained to be good listeners for it is with the recorded words of a real life character that students compose their stories. We will be editing our digital stories with Final Cut Pro editing software. Students not familiar with the software should consider registering for one of the Video Editing Labs that are offered to all students through the Mason Gross School of the Arts.  http://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/content/course-offerings
