About this journey

A documentary week. You choose a real story, a place, a craft or a person, and learn to research it, structure it, interview, film and edit it. Theory in the mornings prepares each step; the rest of the day you are out filming. On the last night your mini documentary or vlog has its premiere.

Objective. Tell a real audiovisual story about a place, an activity or a person.
