Mastering the Interview: Real People as Documentary Story Structure

Starts Monday, October 2 and runs through Monday, November 6.

Learn to direct and shoot interview subjects in a way that inspires, informs and is technically sound. You will also see how to take hours of raw interviews and condense them down to manageable soundbites which define and give structure to your story. Move an idea or existing project forward by conducting multiple interviews over the course of the class, assessing your material for story threads, and organizing the footage into a “Paper Edit” to be used for script writing and eventual editing.

Taught by Steve Amen (OPB's Oregon Field Guide).
