Filmbase have announced a new weekend ‘Directing the Documentary’ course given by ‘The Pipe’s Richie O Domhnaill which will take place on 16th /17thJuly.
Have an idea for a Documentary? That’s a great start but have you thought about your audience, the research required, not to mention post production.
These are but a few of the many questions you need to ask yourself before embarking on a documentary. The course is divided into four key areas and is aimed at anyone considering directing a documentary. Practical elements are an integral part of this course.
Course Content
- Developing the idea
- Pitching
- Writing proposals
- Interviews
- Shooting set up
- The editing process
TUTOR: “I began filming on the Corrib story in late 2006 as a news cameraman. As someone also living locally, I felt that the true story of the locals living in the path of the pipeline was being lost among the hype, sensationalism and spin in the media. I, unwittingly, became drawn in by the dignity and intelligence of these people and over the next 3 years followed them in their daily lives, while at the same time researching into the historical and political reasons as to why this project was so controversial. I was amazingly privileged, not to mention unbelievably lucky, to have been there to record practically all of the key events over those 3 years, and experienced at first hand how the locals responded to challenges of Goliath proportions. I have a degree in Theoritical Physics from Trinity College Dublin but I feel my education only began the day I stepped foot in Rossport!”
