OUTLINE FOR THE 5 DAY DOCUMENTARY WORKSHOP
DATES: Mach 13th TO 17th 2014
The larger purpose of the workshop is to introduce aspiring candidates into the art of
Documentary with a specific focus into the world of Documentaries. During the span of
5 days they will get an opportunity to explore how the creative art of Television can be
used in the simplest of ways to explore the most complicated situations and aspects of
life at large. At the end of the session we will actually produce a short 5 to 7 minutes
Documentary from script to shooting to the final mixing.
Last but not the least we will also explore the various ways in which one can actually
make short Documentary into a wholesome career.
Each day will consist of 4 sessions of 2 hours each in which the talk will also be
accompanied by Documentary clips and other presentations.
Day One:
Session 2: What is story-telling? Studying the borders between fact and fiction
Day Two:
3
Day Three:
Day Four:
Session 1: Shooting
Session 2: Shooting
Day Five:
4
Every evening for the first 3 days there will be a screening of short Documentary
followed by discussions. Candidates will also observe the art of analyzing and deducing
certain conclusions.
From day two we will encourage candidates to conduct the discussions on their own
while we observe and guide them. The larger aim is to ensure that we encourage local
leadership who can take this short workshop forward in their own ways and in their
own respective communities also.
