I’m teaching MED512 Documentary Practicum this fall. The semester begins on 22 August.
The class will complete a short documentary film about a Springfield topic over 16 weeks. They’ll get hands-on experience doing all the things.
The goal for the class is to finish a good film in time to submit it to the Broadcast Education Association Festival of Arts — an international competition of student and faculty media. Our overall media program at Missouri State ranks 4th. Our documentary program ranks 21st.
I have high expectations. I’ll be taking my readers along for the ride.
Step one: A story idea.
Stay tuned…
