In this workshop at the VFC in Middlebury we’ll use the ‘Vox Pop’ format of collecting many answers to one question as an entry point to learn the concepts and methods behind interviewing, audio-recording and audio-editing.

The Documentary Production workshop will introduce participants to approaches to filming interviews, recording professional-quality audio, using different camera techniques, gathering b-roll, doing archival research, and shooting to edit.

Audio is a powerful medium for capturing human experience and human expression.

Offered in partnership with Vermont Story Lab, this course will provide an introduction to the ethnographic method of community-based research and the tools and skills of media-making.

Media-making can be a powerful tool for exploring subject-area content, for student self-expression and engagement, and for relationship-building within the community. Additionally, collaborative community-based media projects have students practice the interpersonal and technical skills that will continue to be relevant to their lives and work in the future.
