Introduction to Documentary Film Making
An introduction to documentary filmmaking. How to take an idea from pre-production to post-production. This production workshop will cover the fundamentals of cinematography (composition, exposure, lighting), sound recording, interview techniques, and an introduction to editing.
The three hour documentary production workshop will be organized into three sections:
1) Introduction and instruction: fundamentals of cameras, sound recorders, lighting, interview techniques.
2) Collaborative production: working in small groups within a short timeframe, film a portrait of a person or of a space, attentive to sound and light.
3) How to edit: organization of footage and audio recordings, setting oneself up for success, archiving projects, and thinking before cutting.
Class is limited to 15 participants.

Bio:
Roland Dahwen (Alum, '13) is a filmmaker and visual artist. Working for large and small film productions, Roland is an editor, screenwriter, camera operator, and director. He has taught film at Lewis & Clark, Pacific Northwest College of Art, and University of Oregon. He currently co-directs Outer Voice, a collective of time-based artists in Portland, and is making a documentary about blind soccer players.
At Reed, he studied Spanish and Latin American Literature. He watched many films while working at the IMC in the Reed Library, and learned how to use an audio recorder while working for the Reed AV Department. His work in documentary film has taken him to faraway places like the Canary Islands, Brazil, France, Colombia, northeastern Washington, and Texas.
Orchestra Symphony Trip
Professor Rob Ribera has arranged an exciting opportunity for us to visit the Oregon Symphony for a rehearsal session. If you love movie scores, you'll want to come along on Friday January 24th to watch the Pops conductor Jeff Tyzik as he and the musicians practice cues for their upcoming "Heroes and Villains" concert. They'll play selections from Star Wars, Casablanca, The Shape of Water, and many more! This will be an opportunity to see an orchestra at work before the live performance, so we'll see some highlights, probably a few full pieces (and probably some false starts too). It's a fascinating experience if you are interested in how film scores connect with the images on screen, how they are arranged, and all the work that goes into an orchestral performance. The rehearsal is from 9:30 until around noon, so we will leave campus at 9 sharp on a Reed van and probably be back to campus around 1. Please email rribera@reed.edu to reserve your spot. I have 15 seats available, and this is open to both English and Film students. Here's some more information about the concert:
We hope to see you there!
