Dean's Book Course 391D + Documentary Film Production = Video DBC*

Commonwealth College recently introduced a new course -- Video DBC -- that combines the final level of the Dean's Book Course with an introduction to the elements of documentary film production.

Video DBC follows the regular Honors 391D curriculum but with an emphasis on documentary film projects. Students learn the foundations of video/film technique and theory necessary to produce their own short subject documentaries on topics related to the semester's text and arising out of their class-based research.

This is a special three-credit section of the Dean's Book Course, which meets 4 hours a week for the full semester.

Prerequisites are Honors 191D and 291D or Honors 291G or R. No previous film/video courses are required and all levels of experience are welcome.

Join and learn the how to place your views on the screen by stepping behind the camera.
