MCOM 201 - Documentary Practice4 credits
This course is an exploration of documentary media through theory and practice. Students conduct archival research, fieldwork and gain experience in interpreting and editing the material they gather into original text, sound and visual communication. The class introduces students to historical documentary traditions as well as contemporary modes and methods. Special focus is given to new digital forms of representation and their impact on production, distribution, and consumption. Some fundamental questions this class raises are: What is at stake in using documentary and non-fiction modes of representation? what are the ethical and constitutional considerations in producing documentary media? What is the role and function of documentary modes of communication within contemporary society? Prerequisite: MCOM 101 Co-requisite: MCOM 201L Offered every Spring semester.
