How to prepare a documentary film project? An open-access online course
Posted on 2016-07-05
You have been dreaming of making your own documentary film and you don't know where to start? If you want to get advice from experienced documentary film directors - an Oscar© Nominee Hanna Polak, a cinematographer Jacek Petrycki or an Oscar© Nominee producer of Anna Wydra's "Rabbit à la Berlin", this course - prepared within the PEAM project is right for you!
The making of a documentary film is not only about finding a good theme, but it deals with many aspects which an average novice - unfortunately - does not care about. The team selection, the choice of equipment, and the legal protection of the production are only part of the things one MUST remember to take good care of. But, do not panic! The free online course "How to prepare a documentary film project?" has been created to help you learn the details of a documentary film development... and make it easier for you to make your own one.
A documentary film director is a profession, but it is also defining your own attitude towards the world, which means constant, creative, humble observation. To learn it has a great significance - I guarantee this. Even if you are never going to make a single film.
