Introduction to Documentary Film: Beginnings, Middles and Endings

In our continuing discussion of documentary film, we talk a little bit about some of the building blocks of a good story: the cold open, exposition, character introduction, and the heart or theme of the piece.

Let's say: to a "new" filmmaker, rather than to a "young" filmmaker. Thanks for posting these videos on documentaries. I have delayed my filmmaking dream for about 50 years, so it is now time to seriously think about doing a documentary.

@@justinsmorningcoffee Documentary Class made my Screenwriting skill so much better. I rember my Documentary Class Teacher Torsten Trusheit showing us "MILK" in Class. And we where in tears. After that the Movie whit Sean Penn seemed so dull. We also watched "ANVIL"! We had a blast!
