BC 601 - Capstone

Semester Hours: 4

Students enroll in this documentary production course after generating a capstone project treatment and proposal in COM 430 (Audience Research).  The pre-production and planning from the previous course provide the foundation for students to shoot, write, edit, and showcase their projects. BC 601 requires each student to present a professional-quality short non-fiction narrative near the end of the semester. The finished documentary serves as a capstone element for student portfolios. It is also reviewed by invited consultants and analyzed by their peers for storytelling and production aesthetics.  

 

Prerequisite: BC 101  or 102, BC 111, and BC 251  and at least three semester hours of BC 120 /Practicum.
