FMST 1715 - MOCKUMENTARY: PRODUCTION AND CRITICISM

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The mockumentary - a fictional film made to "look like" a documentary - became popularized as a term to describe a distinct genre in coverage of Rob Reiner's 1984 film This is Spinal Tap. Since then, the genre has evolved to treat a variety of subjects through a range of styles - including straightforward hoaxes, social parodies, and sharp criticisms of nonfictional form. In addition to readings, lectures and discussions, students in this class will produce short mockumentary projects. Previous production experience is not required. This is a Production course with Critical Studies elements and counts for Category III towards the Film and Media Studies major and minor.
