Documentary Story Structure and Post Production Course

Post production is often the hardest part of documentary production. Many people have no idea where to start when faced with a lot of footage. However, when the filmmaker takes a disorganized cluster of footage, turns it slowly into a touching story, he transforms chaos into art, and the post production editing turns into an interesting process.

This course teaches story structure, basic editing techniques, and introduces how to write a proposal, festival submissions and distribution methods.
