You don't need a fancy camera or a lot of money to make a documentary. You just need an idea, a good camcorder, a microphone and some lights, and knowledge of how to go about it.  In this class you'll learn how to plan and organize your documentary; how to set up and film interviews; how to get good audio and lighting under field conditions; how to buy or rent the equipment you need, at the best price; how to record video and audio in the field.  Plus, tips about film festivals and distribution.
