ENGWRT 1780 - STUDIO IN AUDIO DOCUMENTARY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
In this advanced production course, we will explore the craft of audio documentary in a hands-on studio setting. Over the course of the semester, you will dedicate yourself to producing a single sound-rich work of audio documentary, which you will pitch, research, record, script, edit, and revise, aiming to come away with a polished, broadcast-worthy story by the end of the term. This is workshop-intensive course. You will provide detailed feedback on your peers, work and to offer up your own work-in-progress for critique at regular intervals, using this feedback to inform your story's development at every stage. Class discussions include strategies for generating and pitching stories, planning and conducting interviews, scripting and structuring tape, and working with music and field recordings. While our primary texts will be your own stories, we will also engage with a variety of forms of audio documentary through focused listening assignments, which will serve as models and inspiration for your work. This course assumes prior experience in narrative audio production and a self-directed approach to the technical elements of audio recording and editing.
